Synopsis
Cross-dressing student Gin trades makeup lessons for seducing the campus heartthrob while in girl mode.
Gin Fujigaya is a timid, reclusive university student who spends his free time dressing up as a girl and posting selfies on the internet. As happy as it makes him to get likes and comments on his photos, Gin is mortified at the thought of anyone at his university discovering his hobby. Regardless, he genuinely wishes to go out into the world and show everyone just how cute he looks. After reaching ten thousand followers on his account, Gin decides to leave his tiny apartment in a beautiful dress and with a full face of makeup, causing people around him to look with curiosity, lust, and envy. He finds the experience liberating, as no one seems to suspect that he is a man underneath. However, his appearance also attracts unwanted attention—leading to Gin almost being assaulted if it were not for Asa Nakamachi passing by to stop it. To his surprise, Nakamachi readily accepts Gin's unique hobby and even fixes his makeup for him. Amazed by her abilities, Gin begs her to teach him how to better apply makeup. Nakamichi agrees, but Gin must do something in return: make the hottest guy at school fall for him while he is dressed as a girl!
