Synopsis

Kisara Hanae is a girl who grew up in an orphanage with brightness and a fighting spirit. She used to dream of representing Japan in karate but suddenly ended her dream and fell at the bottom of her life. One day, Hanae meets Ashida Haruki, a composer of a hype song that she always listens to before her matches. Hanae has never fallen in love as she has been focusing on karate, while Haruki struggles to write a good song as he doesn’t understand people’s hearts. The duo then decided to have a “fake serious romance” together. Meanwhile, Natsukawa Shingo is a childhood friend of Hanae and has always liked her. The relationship eventually develops into a love triangle. However, Hanae has a “secret” that she can’t tell and decides that “this love shall be the last love of her life”.
