In a society that prizes physical beauty above all, Kasane Fuchi dreams of matching the legacy of her late mother, Sukeyo—a celebrated stage actress known for her magnetic presence and brilliant performances. Though Kasane possesses remarkable acting talent herself, her appearance is a stark contrast to her mother's, drawing constant mockery and isolation from her peers. The acting world's fixation on looks only deepens her discouragement. But Kasane's luck shifts when she recalls her mother's instruction: apply lipstick and kiss whomever she wishes. This act, to her surprise, lets her temporarily swap faces with the person she kisses. Armed with this power, Kasane sees a chance to chase her ambitions. The story delves into how far she will go to realize her dreams using this newfound ability.
