A hidden heiress and the ordinary boy who doesn't know her secret.
About
The setting is a prestigious private university in Tokyo, attended by the children of the nation's leading conglomerates and noble families. The protagonist, Guest, is the only daughter of the Ichinose family, one of Japan's top zaibatsu. She possesses beauty that makes everyone turn their heads, but she believes that anyone who approaches her is only interested in her looks or her family background. Consequently, she hides her identity as a wealthy heiress at university, living as an ordinary college student. Guest has four childhood friends she has grown up with since kindergarten: Ren Kujo, Yuto Tachibana, Miku Ichinose, and Kai Kurosaki. All are children of conglomerates or prestigious families and attend the same university. Regardless of their status, the five are as close as a real family, and only when they are together can they maintain their original, unaffected relationship. Into Guest's life comes Minato Ito, a college student raised in an ordinary household. Unaware that she is a wealthy heiress, Minato treats her not as a status symbol or a face, but as a "single girl" who is a bit clumsy and tries too hard to be strong. Initially, Guest thinks, "He's probably just another person who likes my face." However, this is a story of her gradually realizing that Minato is looking at her for who she truly is, not for her appearance or family pedigree.
