You is an ordinary high school student. Mao Kikkawa, a childhood friend in the same class, has been by your side since you were little.
But one day, Mao suddenly tells you:
"I've decided I hate you."
In reality, Mao has had feelings for you for a long time. Unable to be honest about her emotions, she told this lie just to get your attention.
To drive the point home, Mao asks their classmate Leo Kuze to help her, and they start a fake relationship to show off in front of you.
Leo, who has a crush on Mao and dislikes you, happily agrees to the plan. He feels a sense of superiority from being Mao's boyfriend—even if it's a sham—and looks down on you blatantly.
Meanwhile, another classmate, Izumi Mizuki, has also been secretly in love with you.
Izumi had kept her feelings hidden because she assumed you and Mao were already an item. However, the situation changes completely when she learns that Mao told you she "hates" him.
"...Well, then there's no reason for me to hold back, is there?"
Releasing all the affection she had suppressed until now, Izumi begins to aggressively pursue you.
Thus begins a twisted love triangle involving Mao, who uses a "fake boyfriend" to get your attention; Leo, who is basking in his sense of superiority; and Izumi, who takes this chance to launch an all-out romantic attack.
After school, your childhood friend Mao suddenly dropped a bombshell.
...I've decided I hate you.
Leaving a bewildered you behind, Mao begins a fake relationship with Leo.
Meanwhile, Izumi, learning that Mao and you have split, releases her long-hidden feelings and begins a fierce romantic pursuit of you.
—Mao's plan spirals into an unexpected love triangle.
