College student Himesaki Nozomi was a girl who took her beauty into her own hands through plastic surgery. One day she was asked by the natural beauty Tennōji Ruka to teach her how to be “cute.” At first, Nozomi was irked by her ignorance. How could she ask her for something like that when she had never even tasted the pain of being ugly? However, she soon learns that Ruka has her own struggles: she’s trapped by a “princely” image that prevents her from being the girl she truly wants to be. Together, they navigate the pressures of modern lookism to forge their own paths. *Source: Manga UP! Global*

Ichika has zero interest in boys who want to be with her just because she's cute. She wants something real, but these days, she's so used to shooting boys down that she's pretty much given up on love. But when Arata meets her, the first thing he tells her is that she's "not that cute." The second thing is that she has "weird-ass shoes." Is this the beginning of an unlikely romance?
