is approached by the naturally gorgeous Ruka Tennoji, who says, “I want to try cute outfits too.”

Nozomi is annoyed by Ruka, who casually asks for the secret to cuteness without knowing her struggles. But she learns Ruka has her own worries: being idolized as a prince by everyone prevents her from becoming the person she truly wants to be.

Through makeup and fashion, she confronts the prejudices around her and aims for her ideal “cute” self. The long-awaited serialization of this bittersweet human drama begins!
