What
secret is the richest girl in Japan hiding?
If you
haven't given the manga illustrated by Sorahiko Mizushima a
chance yet, the premise will get you hooked quickly. The story follows Itsuki
Tomonari, a high school boy who, after accidentally getting involved in a
kidnapping attempt, ends up becoming the personal caregiver of Hinako Konohana,
a young woman from one of the largest financial conglomerates in the country.
To the rest
of the world, Hinako is the epitome of elegance: beautiful, sparkling, and
perfect. However, in the privacy of her home, her true nature comes to light:
she is a lazy and clumsy girl who lacks any basic skills for daily life.
Committed to protecting her false public image for family reasons, Itsuki
begins to pamper and care for her in a devoted manner. Gradually, the boundary
between master and servant begins to blur as Hinako becomes hopelessly
dependent on him, sparking a tender and hilarious romance behind closed doors.
