However, Ito and Makoto couldn't be more different: While Makoto behaves very calmly and always wears very neat feminine clothes, Ito is rather quick-tempered and behaves very masculine.
But both have the same dream: They both want to be actors. As soon as Makoto Amano is on the stage of the theater group of her school, to which the two belong, it becomes clear that she has a lot of talent. The two also get the roles for Romeo and Juliet from William Shakespeare , with Makoto to cast Juliet and Ito to cast Romeo . However, the role of Julia was previously assigned to another person, who now plays the role of rival Makotos. After a short time, however, something happens that Ito would not have expected. After a rehearsal for the theater group, she invites Makoto over to her home, and her siblings are so shocked that Ito brings a girl home with her, which is usually not her style that the two of them are sprayed wet without further ado.
