Randou Rino's enrollment at the prestigious Gokujou Academy marks the beginning of an unusual chapter. Accompanied by a sentient puppet, Rino finds herself unexpectedly welcomed into the Gokujou Student Council, an organization wielding considerable influence within the school and beyond.

It examines themes of perception versus reality, questioning how merit is defined and whether genuine potential can be overlooked. The atmosphere blends academic life with a subtle undercurrent of intrigue, inviting viewers to observe Rino's journey of self-discovery within an environment built on ambition and achievement.
