Plot
Makoto Saigi, a high school student, has not trusted teachers ever since his kindergarten teacher rejected his childhood confession. One day, Maki Fujiki, his homeroom teacher who is popular for her beauty, calls him after class for "guidance counseling". He is surprised when she confesses to him, not knowing why such a well-admired teacher could have feelings for him. Maki challenges him to fall in love with her one day, even telling him that she would train her to become a student who loves her teacher.
