Two perfect students discover they're both frauds, and the show spends twenty-six episodes proving that's the only honest thing either of them ever said. The romance works because it's not about grand gestures or destiny, it's about two people choosing to be real with each other when being fake was so much easier. The animation crumbles halfway through and the ending doesn't resolve cleanly, but by then the show has already won because you stopped watching for the plot and started watching for them.

Yukino has perfected the art of seeming perfect. Top grades, athletic skill, graceful manners and a smile for everyone have made her the most admired girl among the freshmen. What nobody knows is that she is deeply vain and works relentlessly to keep up the act, all for the praise it brings. Everything changes when Soichiro, her class's other representative, proves even more perfect than she is and tops the exam rankings. When he sees her true self, he doesn't expose her. Instead, he blackmails her into handling his student council work, forcing them to spend time together. What starts as coerced cooperation grows into friendship and then love, and Yukino learns she is not the only one keeping secrets. Can their romance hold up against the troubles that come their way?
