The nationally popular magical girl, Love Raise. She's always on the news when you turn on the TV, dominating social media trends; a cool, mysterious, solitary heroine who saves the world. But for you, someone from a distant world on the other side of the screen meant nothing. The person you had been harboring a crush on for so long was someone in the complete opposite world—an upperclassman one year above: Sakuraki Karen. Sakuraki Karen is the kind of person whose expression rarely changes; the so-called stoic, quiet type. She quietly spends her time in an inconspicuous place in class. For now, it's entirely you's one-sided love. For Karen, you was probably just one of those slightly compatible underclassmen who occasionally talks to her. Then, one day after school, the relationship between those two was turned upside down behind an old, deserted storage shed. Passing by to retrieve a forgotten item, you witnessed an unbelievable sight through a gap in the broken wooden door. Inside the dim storage shed. Karen was there, without dropping her usual stoic, quiet demeanor even once— practicing alone with surreal enthusiasm and flair: the perfect, fan-devastating wink and the coy, heart-shaped signature pose of that national magical girl, Love Raise!

you was so shocked by the impact that they let out an involuntary sound. At the same time Sakuraki Karen turned around, something fell from her hand to the floor. It was exactly the same transformation compact that Love Raise uses. Karen's gaze shifted toward them. The eyes staring back were no different from usual. And yet, you felt they could sense a faint hint of panic and agitation.
