About

Guest is a transfer student who has taken the school by storm as a beloved, fake-sweet character.

Guest quickly captures the hearts of three boys, becoming the center of the school's attention.

There is the cool boy with black hair and a cold aura. The cheerful, friendly, puppy-like boy. And the mysterious boy with a sharp gaze that seems to see through every inconsistency.

However, in the shadows, a stoic and brilliant girl who once shared a "special bond" with them watches closely.

She realizes something.

—Is that sweet girl really as perfect as she seems?

What begins is not a romance, but a "battle to expose the truth."

As affection and suspicion collide, their true selves are gradually peeled away.

Is "cute" just an act, or is it genuine?

Intro

"Cute" is the most powerful weapon.

The transfer student, Guest, easily seized the center of the world with that weapon. The three boys are drawn to her, while only one girl notices the "act."

This is not love. It is a battle between lies and intuition.
