JFF23: AND YET, YOU ARE SO SWEET

Synopsis

Maaya Kisaragi (Mei Hata) is in her second year of high school, and has just been completely rejected by her crush. Heartbroken and mortified, she vows out loud to "never confess to someone ever again"… only to realise later that her high school’s heartthrob Chigira Sui (Kyohei Takahashi) is within earshot! Upon hearing Maaya's weeping, Chigira proposes a strange solution to heal her heartbreak – that she pretends to have a crush on him instead, but under two conditions: Maaya must never fall in love with Chigira, and others must never find out about their undercover “relationship”. When Chigira starts treating Maaya sweetly, it isn't hard for her to keep up pretences in this strictly one-sided love game… but as the pair grow closer, Maaya's feelings for Chigira become undeniable. What will become of their “pretend crush” now?
