“Azuma-kun, will you do my nails for me⁉”
A coming-of-age romantic comedy featuring a dragon-blooded high school girl and a model-building high school boy!
Hajime Azuma, a high school student skilled at building plastic models, is summoned to the rooftop one day by his classmate Sayori Goto, a half-dragon gal. Though Sayori seems like the life of the party, she actually has a problem that’s a matter of life and death for a gal: “My nails are too hard to get a manicure.” Having heard that manicures and plastic models are similar, Sayori asks Hajime to be her manicurist, but… Haoju, who has absolutely no experience with nails, struggles but eventually meets Sayori’s expectations through trial and error. Before long, he finds himself doing nails not just on her hands but on her feet too, and even creating designs for swimsuit photo shoots with other half-dragon gals—and so begins a hectic daily life!?
