≪Synopsis≫
"I am cute. Because all men are captivated by 'cute me.'" This was the protagonist Kotone's (Karen Otomo) common sense and her weapon. Kotone, who had a life of being overwhelmingly popular since her school days, is suddenly confronted by "senior azakawa girl" Sahara Nazuna (Reika Sakurai). Everything, no matter what she does or when, is taken away by Nazuna, making Kotone anxious with the "loss" she feels for the first time. Furthermore, the handsome boss she has her eye on, Masataka Shimizu (Ryoga Funatsu), is also with Nazuna--!? However, Nazuna also feels she cannot underestimate Kotone's presence... A fierce battle of "azato kawaii" VS "azato kawaii" that stakes their pride and where neither will yield, is about to begin.
