Hatori, self-proclaimed heroine, faces reality when crush Rita dates quiet classmate Miho, questioning her role.

Even though he has girlfriends, she is convinced that she is the only "right" person for him and that they will eventually be together. This is the narrative Hatori has followed her entire life. However, her whole world is thrown into chaos when Rita begins paying attention to their classmate Miho Adachi, a plain and unassuming wallflower, and they soon start dating. Hatori begins to question the nature of her reality: has she been the side character the whole time?Included one-shots: Volume 7: Thank You☆Last Samurai (Thank You For the Last Samurai) Volume 10: Souri de Sorry
