Romance and the discovery of identity

The story follows Kenshirou Midou, a high school student with a passion for makeup, but who keeps this interest a secret. His only confidante is his childhood friend Hiura Mihate. One day, Kenshirou decides to test his cosmetic skills on Hiura, completely transforming her appearance.

What begins as a simple game ends up opening up new possibilities for both of them. Besides liking the look created, Hiura starts wearing girls' clothes and even the school uniform, exploring a facet of his personality that had previously remained hidden.
