Plot

[edit]

Murai is a top student in his grade at his high school who falls in love with his homeroom teacher, Ms. Tanaka. However, Ms. Tanaka has no interest in him and is secretly obsessed with Hitotose, her favorite character from the otome game Feudal Era Love Scroll. After Ms. Tanaka rejects him, stating that she has no interest in men with long, black hair, he appears at school the next day with short, blond hair, becoming the spitting image of Hitotose.
