Yamato Izumi is a second-year high school student. He loves RPGs, so he mostly likes playing games alone. Because of that, he is alone at school with zero friends. But after that day, everything changed. The number one most popular female student, Yuzu Nanamine, confessed to him: "I'm reluctant, but please go out with me." The whole reason why she's doing this is for her best friend, Aki Kotani. Aki loves Yuzu's friend, Souta Sakuraba, but he is in love with Yuzu instead. However, Yuzu only likes him as a friend. In other words, it is a love triangle. So, her solution to this is to set up a fake relationship with Yamato, then Souta would have no choice to give up and become a couple with Aki.
Normally, Yamato would reject Yuzu's plan, but because she prepared a famous RPG game, he ended up accepting her request. So from that day on, they officially became a fake couple. Every day, they acted like lovers and passed the days just like that. As a bonus, they eventually start to warm up to each other. However, will Yuzu's "perfect" plan will go how she thinks it will? Or will it fail? No one still knows...
This was a very fun novel! The setting is a bit normal, but Yamato and Yuzu's relationship is very fresh. Their interaction with each other is very interesting and resembles an old married couple's. At first, things were awkward between them, but they gradually came to understand each other. After they passed that stage in their relationship, they became real friends. Additionally, Yuzu is a narcissist, but Yamato brilliantly counters her with words of his own. Thanks to that, I think that her personality is more than enough to enjoy.
