Plot
Set at the elite Teiyo Private Academy, Kiito Sonomiya—a charismatic member of the privileged "Life Lovers" group—has his orderly life upended when he falls for Yui Kamio, a seemingly perfect honor student. Unbeknownst to him, Yui harbors a split personality: her gentle, admired self, "White Yui", and the violent delinquent "Black Yui", who emerges when her lock-shaped hair accessory is removed. Feared as the "Dark Deity", Black Yui's ruthless fighting skills make her infamous among students.
When Yui's childhood friend Nao Ebisuno entrusts Kiito with a spare hair lock to control her transformations, he is thrust into chaos. As they struggle to suppress Black Yui's outbursts, vengeful delinquents constantly target them, forcing Kiito to navigate the turmoil of Yui's dual personas and the conflicts they unleash.
