Despite being surrounded by stardom his whole life, a traumatizing experience at a commercial shoot 10 years ago forced him into emotional recluse and eventually into the arms of his favorite fictional character, Magical Girl LalaLulu.However, it turns out that Izumi is not in the clear yet. Considering that he is far from becoming a manga artist of any sort, he joins a shooting for the sequel of that dreaded commercial from his past. What’s more, his co-star from the past, who is also invited to reprise his role, is none other than the famous actor Ryouma Ichijou. Izumi does not fancy wearing a dress again—but Ryouma is eager to see the beautiful “girl” who captured his heart 10 years ago. How will this fateful reunion turn out?

However, due to Izumi’s feminine appearance and unisex name, Ryouma believed the boy was a girl and continues to do so to this day. Izumi’s troubles are just beginning, because even after discovering the truth, Ryouma can’t seem to shake off his feelings…
