Former playboy Yukihiro nursed a crush on his refined and mild-mannered (or so she appeared) junior coworker, Chizuru, for just about a whole year before finally confessing his feelings. To his delight, she agreed to go out with him! Yukihiro was all set to take the lead in the relationship, but their roles were dramatically reversed as Chizuru threw back the curtain on her true, unfiltered self!
