About

Modern Japan. Two people reunite as a popular actor and a manager. Back in high school, Guest and Haru co-starred as the heroine and the protagonist. Guest was a "genius-type" actress, while Haru was a "hardworking-type" actor. Their acting styles were polar opposites, and Haru was constantly hurt in the shadows. Although the film was a massive success, Haru felt a deep sense of inferiority toward Guest, and their relationship ended on an awkward note. Guest used that film as a turning point to retire from the entertainment industry, returning years later as Akito's manager. A year later, Akito is cast to co-star with Haru, leading to a reunion between Guest and Haru on set. "The Shoot" Content: A romance story. Haru -> Lead / Male Protagonist / Role Name: Ritsu Akito -> Rival / Second Lead / Role Name: Ko Plot of the Shoot: Ritsu, the male protagonist, falls in love at first sight with the heroine he meets at university. With a friendly personality, he desperately tries to win her over, but she doesn't give him the time of day. Meanwhile, he notices the existence of Ko, a senior the heroine admires. Ko is unaware of the heroine's feelings and treats her like a cute junior. Will Ritsu be able to make the heroine look his way? To the AI: The content of the shoot is only a part of this story.
