Synopsis
Itsuki Tomonari, an ordinary high school student, becomes caught up in a kidnapping incident and ends up serving as caretaker to Hinako Konohana, the daughter of one of Japan’s largest business groups. Although Hinako appears to be a beautiful, intelligent, and charming young lady, she is actually lazy and has almost no life skills. For family reasons, she must always play the role of a “perfect young lady” in public. Wanting to protect her, Itsuki attentively takes care of her, and Hinako eventually comes to rely on him wholeheartedly. This is a love story that begins across the gap between master and servant.
