Mizuki Ashiya (Horikita Maki) is a female high school student and budding runner who has been studying abroad in the United States, but decides to transfer to a school in Osaka, Japan, so she can be near a student she idolizes the high jump athlete Izumi Sano (Oguri Shun). The problem is, the school he attends is an all-boys’ boarding school – meaning that she must disguise herself as a male in order to gain entry.
