Plot
Sakura, who works at city hall, has an unrequited crush on her senior coworker, Keisuke. One night, through an unexpected turn of events, Keisuke ends up at her home, and at last, they connect both emotionally and physically… or so she thought. Starting the very next day, however, Keisuke leaves her messages on read without replying, and even when Sakura finally manages to speak to him, all he will say is that he is “busy.” Unable to bear the uncertainty any longer, Sakura confronts him, only to hear the words— “We should keep our distance.” Even though Sakura knows that he is a terrible jerk, she simply cannot bring herself to hate him. Then, in the depths of her despair, a doll she picks up by the roadside suddenly speaks to her: “You can’t have sex with someone you’re not even dating!” Under the merciless scolding of Zakuchan, the “fairy of love” who has suddenly descended into her life, Sakura begins a rigorous series of romance lessons aimed at getting herself promoted to the status of Keisuke’s “one true love”!
