Synopsis:

Hinako Nakayama’s life has been defined by the sterile environment of orphanages, leaving her with no knowledge of her origins or family. Her world is upended when Hikaru appears, claiming a familial connection and offering a drastic proposition. He reveals they are siblings, children of a prominent yakuza leader, and proposes a swap: Hinako will take his place at Shishiku Academy, a notoriously rough-and-tumble all-boys institution.

The series follows Hinako as she navigates the complex social hierarchy of Shishiku, confronting its formidable student body while grappling with questions of identity and belonging. She must unravel the truth behind her past, protect her brother from unseen forces, and contend with the unexpected challenges of school life – all while forging unforeseen relationships amidst a volatile environment. The story explores themes of family, loyalty, and self-discovery within a distinctly modern, urban setting.
