Hanamura Neneko was 17 years old, unpopular, with no friends and no boyfriend. So she decides to break herself down and remake herself.
Now Neneko is cute and popular on social, and living a sparkling JK life. However, she hit rock bottom when her friends betrayed her! What changed her life was a text message from someone she didn't even know, and an encounter with a very handsome band member! A heart-tingling but realistic portrayal of a girl's life!
