As a child, Masamune Makabe is rejected by a rich and beautiful girl named Aki Adagaki, who nicknamed him “little pig” because of his fat boy appearance. Seeking revenge, Masamune works hard to better himself and returns as a stunningly handsome, albeit narcissistic, high school student. When he meets Aki once more, he is prepared to exact revenge. With the help of Aki’s servant, Yoshino Koiwai, Masamune slowly begins to build his relationship with Aki, intending to break her heart when the time is right. However, as his friendship with Aki begins to grow, Masamune begins to question the goals of his devious plans, and whether carrying them out is what his heart truly desires.
