Determined to have a better experience in high school, she enrolls in high school under a false identity – only to find out that her personal guard Keiya Uto (Jesse), whom she has a secret crush on, has enrolled alongside her, wanting to protect her from other boys. His suspicions seem warranted when Mikio Tanuki (Kaito Sakurai), the son of another yakuza family, also shows up at the same school and immediately develops an interest in Isaku. As Isaku and Keiya's bond grows stronger, Mikio decides to take matters into his own hands. Can Isaku have the "normal" life and love she dreamed of, or is it impossible to overcome her family ties?
