SYNOPSIS
Makoto has spent years living in her sister's shadow, watching her bask in the spotlight as a successful model. Now starting high school, she's finally ready to carve out her own identity and prove she's more than just the famous model's little sister. But her carefully laid plans crumble when her sister suddenly transfers to her school, threatening to steal the spotlight all over again. Caught between frustration and unexpected feelings, Makoto finds herself drawn into an unlikely dynamic with a classmate who seems determined to help her stand out. As romantic tension builds and her sister's presence creates constant chaos, Makoto discovers that stepping out of someone's shadow might mean accepting who you actually are, not just who you want others to see. This short series blends comedy with genuine emotional stakes, capturing that specific anxiety of adolescence where everyone else seems to know exactly where they belong. It's lighthearted but sincere, perfect for anyone who's felt overshadowed and wanted their own moment to shine.
