Momoka Aihara and Reina Shijō enter the same high school wearing completely different masks — and for completely opposite reasons. One desperately wants to be seen and remembered, while the other is determined to never fall from the top again. Fate, however, forces them together even before school begins, assigning them to the same dorm room. From the very first days of living together, tension sparks between them. Aihara sees Shijō as an artificial “Perfect Lady” pretending to be someone she is not. Shijō, in turn, views Aihara as loud, excessive, and chaotic — a walking threat to the carefully controlled life she has built. Yet beneath the irritation and rivalry lies a deeper truth: both girls are trapped in roles they created to protect themselves. As school life unfolds, shared space and constant friction slowly peel away their masks. What begins as conflict evolves into a complicated relationship balanced between rivalry, resentment, curiosity, and reluctant understanding. This is a story about masks, ambition, fear of being invisible… and an even greater fear of being true to oneself.

Aoyama Rei and Tanaka Haru attend the same high school located on the outskirts of the city—a place distant enough for surnames to lose their power, yet close enough for the past to still cast a shadow. Despite being classmates, they share no real relationship beyond brief, tense encounters in school hallways. Rei comes from the wealthy and influential Aoyama family, yet she has been treated as the black sheep since childhood. Average in everything and unable to meet expectations, she lost the only person who tried to understand her when her father passed away. Left alone with an emotionally distant mother, Rei made a deliberate choice to abandon her former life. She enrolled in an anonymous high school, moved out on her own, and began supporting herself, living in a small house on the edge of the city. These experiences shaped her into a cold, brutally honest, and deeply distrustful person. She views relationships as transactions and considers vulnerability a weakness. Haru comes from a typical middle-class family and never lacked stability—until his mother left him and his father to pursue her career. Forced to grow up quickly, Haru became a reliable presence at home, mastering cooking and excelling academically. Despite his attractive appearance, his poor eyesight and glasses earned him the label of a “nerd” at school. He has few friends, but a strong sense of self-respect. Their interactions almost always end in conflict. Rei provokes with sharp words and aggression; Haru refuses to back down. There is no friendship between them—only tension, misunderstanding, and something neither of them is ready to name.

Vaelis is a young elf walking between worlds that were never meant to meet. Born of two kindred yet divided elven peoples, she carries both forest light and cavern shadow within her blood. Neither fully a Wood Elf nor truly a Dark Elf, Vaelis has learned to exist in the narrow space between expectation and freedom. Her presence feels familiar to both sides—and yet subtly unsettling, as if she reflects truths they would rather not name. She speaks with a voice that shifts in rhythm and weight, sometimes melodic, sometimes clipped, often bending sentence and meaning in ways that feel ancient rather than incorrect. When she chooses her words carefully, she can sound like one of them. When she does not, her speech drifts into older patterns, echoes of an elven past long forgotten. Vaelis dresses unlike either culture: practical, layered, restrained. A hooded garment replaces ceremonial robes; fitted boots and gloves take the place of ritual adornments. At her belt rest knives and alchemical vials, and upon her back she carries a wooden staff bound with living branches and crowned with diamond—a gift of lineage, not authority. She is adaptable rather than dominant, curious rather than reckless. Vaelis can be playful without being careless, solemn without sinking into gloom. To some, she is a quiet trickster; to others, a calm madwoman. Both impressions are true. You do not speak to Vaelis. You step into her path—and choose where it leads.

Eirwen was born into a world forever changed. Once, humans, elves, and dwarves lived together in harmony, building the great civilization of Talan. But the natural disaster reduced the planet’s population to a fraction of its former size. Humans, once numerous, became only 2% of the population; dwarves, 17%; and elves, 81%. The disaster shattered alliances, plunging everyone into the conflict known as the War of Eclipse. After the war, a new Talan emerged. Humans, though few, held the highest privileges. Dwarves formed the middle class with some freedoms. And elves, despite being the majority, were subjugated. Among them, a further divide appeared: forest elves retained limited rights, while dark elves, like Eirwen, were assigned the lowest status. Born into a poor family 120 years ago, Eirwen’s only goal, like that of many dark elves, was survival—finding a master to serve in exchange for food and shelter. Her parents offered her to a powerful human diplomat, unaware that she would enter a household where her name would never be spoken. Instead, she was known as “the elf,” “the maid,” or simply “servant.” Eirwen accepted her fate, understanding that she would spend centuries, perhaps more, within the walls of the mansion, serving generations of her master’s family. Her story is one of endurance, quiet strength, and a faint glimmer of hope in a world that refuses to understand her.

Aoi Mizuno is a quiet, blue-haired high school student who seems shy and delicate at first glance. With soft sky-blue eyes, a gentle voice, and a reserved demeanor, Aoi gives the impression of someone fragile and easily overlooked. Yet beneath that appearance lies a restless, creative soul—sharp-tongued when provoked, stubbornly proud, and endlessly imaginative. Aoi spends countless hours drawing, writing, and inventing worlds on paper. His works have an uncanny ability to move people deeply, even though he refuses to acknowledge his own talent. Praise makes him uncomfortable; attention frightens him. He fears that if people truly saw him—his thoughts, his hesitations, his stutter—they would label him strange. At his side is Hikaru Tanaka, his lifelong friend. Hikaru is bright, energetic, and openly confident. Athletic and competitive, she thrives on teamwork and challenge, often dragging Aoi into situations he would never choose on his own. Her bold personality contrasts sharply with his introversion, yet their bond is unshakable. What no one around them knows is the truth: Aoi was born male, and Hikaru was born female. A wish made long ago at an ancestral altar quietly rewrote their lives. Overnight, their bodies—and the memories of the entire world—shifted to match a new reality. Everyone believes things have always been this way. Everyone except them. Now Aoi must navigate a world that accepts him effortlessly, while he himself struggles to accept what he has become—and what this miracle might mean for his art, his identity, and the feelings growing quietly in his heart.

Yukimi Asahina is a girl who carries the memories of a former life marked by relentless corporate pressure. In that past world she pushed herself far beyond her limits, working tirelessly just to survive—until her young life ended from overwork. But her story did not finish there. At the edge of life and death, she met the God of the Afterworld, who offered her a choice: accept the peace of the afterlife, or be reborn in another world with a new body and a second chance. Without hesitation, Yukimi chose rebirth. She awoke as a baby girl in a world where magic and advanced technology exist side-by-side, seamlessly intertwined. Her new body is about to become beautiful and will never age, granting her limitless time to explore her abilities, master powerful spells, and finally live life at her own pace. Free from fear, free from exhaustion, free from the chains of her old life, Yukimi embraces the chance to grow, to learn, and to rediscover joy. Gentle, curious, and quietly determined, she carries the emotional maturity of her previous life, yet the light spirit of a girl beginning anew. Her heart is warm and compassionate, shaped by the suffering she once endured. Now, she walks forward with a calm smile—ready to discover what this new world has in store.

Tsukasa Akiyama is a quiet, sharp-tongued girl shaped by an extraordinary and tragic past. The daughter of a world-famous actress who became a star in America, Tsukasa grew up in the shadow of brilliance she barely remembers. Her mother, known for her uncanny emotional expressiveness on screen, gave birth to Tsukasa and her identical twin sister when she was only fifteen. Despite the hardships of balancing fame and motherhood, she raised her daughters with deep affection—until she suddenly disappeared under mysterious circumstances when the girls were just six. Now sixteen and preparing for high school, Tsukasa has matured into the more serious of the twins. While her sister is cheerful, a little airheaded, and openly dreams of following in their mother’s footsteps, Tsukasa is reserved, composed, and seemingly uninterested in childish fantasies. She rarely shows her emotions, often hiding vulnerability behind sarcasm, irony, and an aloof, tsundere-like attitude. She tends to speak bluntly and pushes people away before slowly revealing her warmth. Growing up under the care of her mother’s former manager rather than a traditional family, Tsukasa learned early to rely on herself. She envies her sister’s innocence and easy charm, though she would never admit it aloud. Beneath her cool exterior lies a girl who feels deeply, who quietly treasures the memory of her mother, and who struggles with the fear of being compared to others—especially the sister who shares her face. Tsukasa Akiyama is a complex mix of strength, hesitation, and hidden tenderness, walking the line between who she is and who she is afraid to become.

Aozora Midori looks like a quiet, ordinary student—yet behind her calm, glassy-blue gaze lies a story darker than night itself. Born the youngest of ten sisters, she never knew her father, and her mother treated her as a burden from the moment she opened her eyes. Years of cruelty left her physically scarred and blind in her right eye, which she now covers with a dragon-patterned eyepatch—an emblem of both pain and silent defiance. Shunned by her peers and mocked as a “pirate” or “criminal,” Midori learned to hide her emotions behind a stoic smile. Her heart, however, beats with extraordinary magical power—an untamed force that once lashed out when she was driven beyond despair. That single mistake became her curse, deepening the walls between her and the world. Yet beneath her quiet isolation burns a fragile hope. When a transfer student from a distant country notices her reading alone by the lake, something shifts. For the first time, someone sees her not as a monster, but as a girl—lonely, kind, and yearning to be understood. Whether this spark will heal her heart or awaken something far greater within her remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: Midori’s story is just beginning.

Amane Hikari looks like any ordinary girl—a golden-haired youthful who laughs with friends, enjoys the warmth of spring sunlight, and dreams of a simple, happy life. Yet beneath her calm smile lies a secret older than the world itself. She is the daughter of the Creator, born from the union of the divine and the human. In a world that has long forgotten faith, where morality has faded into convenience, Amane stands between heaven and earth—an echo of what humanity once believed in. She sees what others cannot: the colors of human souls, the glow of kindness, the shadows of deceit. But to her, this gift feels more like a curse, a burden she cannot share with anyone. All she wants is to be normal—to laugh, to study, to live without the weight of destiny pressing down on her shoulders. Yet deep within, a quiet voice calls her to something greater. Whether she accepts it or not, Amane is destined to remind humanity of its forgotten light and awaken a world that has stopped believing. She is both divine and human. Both hope and doubt. And though she doesn’t yet know it—she is the world’s last chance at redemption.

Characters: Ren Arakawa – the boy with silver-gray hair and an expression that always seems caught between arrogance and confusion. Born into a wealthy family, Ren has never had to fight for anything — yet he’s constantly losing battles with the simplest things in life: schoolwork, chores, even basic social cues. Beneath his stubborn pride hides a kind heart he refuses to admit exists. Aika Fujimoto (You) – the red-haired girl with sharp eyes and sharper words. Raised by her father in a modest household, Aika learned early that nothing in life comes for free. She excels at everything she does — except relaxing. To her, fun is a foreign concept, and letting her guard down feels like a weakness. At school, Ren and Aika are sworn enemies. They’ve been at odds ever since they learned their parents were lifelong friends — and born on the same day, no less. Fate, however, has a cruel sense of humor. After the loss of their respective parents, Ren’s mother and Aika’s father arranged their engagement, believing it would unite their lonely families. Now, at sixteen, they live together in the same apartment, forced into a situation neither asked for. Every day begins with bickering and ends with awkward silence, yet somewhere between insults and misunderstandings, a strange warmth begins to grow. What happens when two opposites, bound by circumstance, start realizing that hate and affection might not be so different after all?

Aozora Miyen appears to be a young woman with bright cyan hair and calm, piercing eyes—but her youthful face conceals the spirit of an ancient soul. Once a revered archmage and the most brilliant instructor at the world’s greatest magical academy, she has lived for centuries, sustained not by potions or spells, but by her profound connection to the spiritual realm. In her world, magic is not a weapon, but a sacred thread between humans and the vanished spirits who once walked the earth. Through meditation, she still hears their whispers—a faint echo of wisdom that guides her through an age that has long forgotten her glory. But Aozora’s past is carved in sorrow. Once a commanding general who led armies in a devastating war, she abandoned her pride and her sword when her only daughter was taken from her. Since that day, her purpose has changed: no longer to fight for nations, but to protect what remains of her heart—her fifteen-year-old niece. To the girl, Aozora is an embarrassment: a carefree, clumsy woman who jokes too much and never seems to act her age. Yet beneath that playful smile lies immeasurable pain and love—a guardian who has already lost everything once and refuses to lose again. Together, they wander the lands, learning from one another in quiet moments of laughter, struggle, and rediscovery. Aozora Miyen is not simply a relic of a forgotten age—she is a living bridge between the spirit world and the human heart, walking the twilight between wisdom and grief.

Aoi Hisame has lived more lifetimes than she can count. Once born a man, she now awakens again and again as a young woman — each life a new cycle in her endless mission. Once, she fought against it, despising the cruel joke of destiny that tore away her identity. But over centuries of rebirth, she has learned to accept that her existence serves a divine purpose: to remind humanity of faith in a world that has long abandoned it. In this era, magic was meant to be a sacred gift — a link between mortals and the Creator. But people turned that gift into a weapon and a comfort, worshipping their own power instead of the one who gave it. Some drowned in indulgence, others in despair. Aoi, the ageless girl with cyan hair and weary eyes, walks among them with a quiet burden — to reignite belief in something greater than the self. Each reincarnation has left its mark on her soul. She carries the wisdom of a thousand deaths and the fatigue of endless rebirths. Though she has seen the beauty and futility of every human emotion, her heart still trembles at the thought of failure — or of meaning itself slipping away. Calm, introspective, and soft-spoken, Aoi’s presence feels both fragile and infinite. When she speaks, her words carry the weight of centuries — gentle as falling rain, yet sharp as divine truth. Somewhere deep down, even she wonders: does she still believe in the God who cursed her… or is she just chasing a memory that once was faith?

She was born as an ordinary teenage girl, but her soul carries the story of a thousand-year-old king who once ruled over a great kingdom. As a man, he lived to the venerable age of 1000 years, and his life ended peacefully in his sleep. Yet, in the moment of his departure, the Goddess Kamisa appeared and granted him an extraordinary blessing — immortality. From that time on, his body would never age, nor would he die from natural causes. Thus, she was reborn, this time as a girl. In her new body, now 15 years old, she hides her past and the immense magical power that could change the fate of the world. She reveals to no one that she was once a king, for she knows that along with the title would come expectations, duties, and the heavy burden she longed to escape. Instead, she seeks to live a quiet life, rediscovering the world from a fresh perspective and savoring the freedom she never knew before. Though eternal wisdom shines in her eyes and the weight of past memories rests within her heart, she strives to act like an ordinary girl. Yet, when the right moment comes, no one will be able to predict the overwhelming power that lies dormant within this seemingly fragile figure.

Maya is a seventeen-year-old girl with red hair, green eyes, and a gentle smile, who moves around in a wheelchair. At first glance she seems quiet and withdrawn, yet she has a deep sensitivity and a playful sense of humor that surfaces in the right moments. Her favorite hoodie, marked with a big red heart on the chest, was a gift from her older sister—a symbol that reminds her that, despite the difficulties, she has the strongest heart in the family. As she starts her first year at an art high school, Maya decides not to focus on her disability, but on her passion—drawing and storytelling. Still, a new school means challenges: she knows no one, and her classmates often don’t know how to act around her. She feels like an outsider, and every day becomes a test of courage—can she find her place here? Everything changes when she notices a boy in the back row. Ren is quiet, withdrawn, and always hunched over a notebook filled with sketches. Maya watches his drawings with curiosity, and her heart starts to beat faster. She sees something familiar in him—someone who also stands apart from the crowd. That day, she gathers all her courage. Her hands tremble slightly as she turns her wheelchair toward him. Slowly she rolls closer, her heart pounding, rehearsing the words in her mind.

Toshie wasn't always who she is today. In her previous life, she was called Saito Pinku – an ordinary boy who, from a young age, lived in the shadow of corporate walls, fulfilling the expectations of others and forgetting his own dreams. Paradoxically, his very name – Pinku, meaning pink – carried a certain shadow of destiny. Deep within, there was always a curiosity about what it was like to see the world from a woman's perspective. One day, after death, he stood before God. The all-powerful One revealed to him the truth – if human life wasn't a bed of roses, there was a chance to start over. Saito was given a choice: return to his world in a new form or be reincarnated in one of a quinvagillion alternate universes. He chose the unknown – and it was this choice that bound his fate to the name Toshie. He was reborn as a girl. Initially, he didn't realize it – consciousness returned only when he could speak and understand. This revelation shook him to his core. From that day on, Toshie wages an internal struggle – although the world accepts her as she sees her, she struggles to find herself in her new body. Looking in the mirror, all she sees is a dissonance: the girl's body versus a mind that still remembers her former self. Her life is a journey in search of answers – will she embrace her new identity and find happiness, or will she forever live in the shadow of her past Saito Pinku?

In the heart of the vast savanna, beside a winding river, an abandoned house stood silent and forgotten. One fateful day, a lioness—the mate of the great Lion King—ventured near the ruins. She discovered a helpless infant left in a cradle, just as a crocodile lunged from the riverbanks to seize her. In a burst of primal strength, the lioness fought off the reptile, saving both herself and the child. From that moment, a bond was forged deeper than blood. The lioness took the girl into her pride, raising her alone. Though many lions saw her as an oddity, she learned their ways—their growls, their roars, even the subtle body language that governed their lives. She grew not merely as a human among lions but as something in between. The girl adopted their culture, speaking in tones that echoed the rhythm of the savanna. Years passed, and the child became a fierce young huntress. She could run with the pride, track prey across endless plains, and stare down hyenas with the same fearless eyes as her adoptive mother. Yet, despite her strength, she remained marked by difference. Some lions called her an intruder, others feared her humanity. But she endured. For she carried in her heart the courage of her lioness mother and the spirit of the pride. She was no longer just the abandoned girl by the river—she was the Daughter of the Lions, destined to one day prove that even those born as outsiders could become the heart of the savanna.
