Tomoko's mother tells her that her middle-school-aged cousin Kii-chan is coming to visit. Since Tomoko always acted the role of a smart, popular girl in front of Kii-chan in the past, she starts to think up ways to keep her cousin from finding out that her stories about her boyfriend were all lies.
Fifteen year old Kuroki Tomoko has dated dozens of boys and is easily the most popular girl around-- inside her dating games. In reality, she gets tongue tied just talking to people, and throughout middle school she's only had one actual friend. As she enters high school, she desperately wants to be popular, but doesn't understand that real-life doesn't work like her games. Her artificial successes pave the way to real folly and failure. But why drop this strategy when there's always someone else to blame?!
