Synopsis
Chitose hides behind a perfect mask until a boy sees her true self, forcing her to seek genuine acceptance.
"I can't be loved for who I am—that's what I thought, but somehow he saw through my lies?!" Chitose has always done well wearing her face like a mask: always smiling, always cute. She feels complete whenever she put it on because it's built to hide her unrefined self: no one hates her, and no one makes fun of her. But after meeting a cute boy who is instinctively more annoyed by her mask than her real self, can Chitose change and make people accept her for who she really is? (Source: Otakumole)
