This is a good version of the 2014 Kento Yamazaki and Gouriki Ayame’s L♥️DK. But of course the Kento one was much better in my opinion.
Nishimori is in no way a raving beauty from any angle. She is very plain and everyone can see that. But somehow her purity and naivety make her a boy magnet.
And this is how she started living with Shusei, the most popular boy in school.
Then before you know it his equally gorgeous cousin from America came to Japan to convince Shusei to return with him to the US.
As Shusei was staying at Nishimori’s apartment, Reon, the cousin, also ended up crashing in with them.
At first, Reon could not see the attraction of Nishimori that fascinated and made Shusei falls madly and deeply in love with such a plain girl.
But after she started cooking for them, he too fell for Nishimori hooks line and sinker.
This started angst and one-upmanship between the cousins to impress Nishimori, who remained faithful to Shusei.
It was hard for Nishimori as well because Shusei is a tsundere so most of the time she did not know what he was thinking but she loves him all the same.
A happy ending for Nishimoru and Shusei as Reon finally accepted that Nishimori is with Shusei.
Cute film.
Well acted!
