I am an announcer of a morning program, nicknamed the "Prince". Aiming to be the No.1, I look down on the guys who made a fool of me when I was in junior high!!
One day, hiding my ambition beneath a smile, I was reunited with Sakaguchi, my first love!? Even though he is a single father, he doesn't feel ashamed, and even praises my success, saying "You did your best."
Is my unrequited love now being rekindled...!?
