Synopsis

In a quiet, old apartment in a prime location in Minato-ku, with a rent of 37,000 yen. As Kota Okada was diligently filming for his YouTube channel 'Okada wo Oe!!' as usual, a DM suddenly arrived. It was from Kasumi Mori. She wanted to collaborate on YouTube...

Starting from this, women, including Miku Ichinose of Nogizaka46, successively visited his apartment and began intense approaches. Their number reached six.

Are they in love with 'Okada in the video' when the camera is rolling? Or are they attracted to 'the real Okada' shown when the camera stops?

The story progresses in conjunction with actual YouTube videos, gradually escalating into a struggle among the women. While confused, Okada tried to enjoy his 'popular phase,' but the situation accelerated into an irreversible 'love.'

'Is this a YouTube stunt, or a real confession?'

Viewers become witnesses to a 'love that seems like a lie but is real' unfolding on their smartphone screens.

Who will be the fated person Okada ultimately chooses?
