Synopsis:

Yuuta Togashi seeks refuge in a new high school, hoping to outrun the intensely embarrassing phase of middle school where he embraced elaborate delusions of power. Haunted by his past persona as the "Dark Flame Master," Yuuta desires a quiet, unremarkable existence. However, his plans are immediately disrupted by Rikka Takanashi, a spirited classmate who openly embraces fantastical beliefs, identifying herself as a vessel for a mystical entity.

Rikka's unwavering conviction forces Yuuta to confront the remnants of his own past fantasies and grapple with the enduring power of youthful imagination. The series explores themes of identity, acceptance, and the challenges of shedding past selves. It presents a blend of comedic situations arising from Rikka’s eccentricities and a quieter examination of Yuuta's internal struggle to reconcile his past with his desire for normalcy within a vibrant, unconventional environment.
