In school, Eriko Ichimura is forgettable and frequently overlooked by her classmates, who only call on her when they need someone to shoulder their duties. But online, she transforms into "Lovesick Ellie," a lively and imaginative persona whose tweets are driven by her wild daydreams. Central to these fantasies is Akira Oomi, the most popular student at school, whom everyone sees as flawless. Eriko's perfect image of Akira shatters when she accidentally overhears a private conversation between him and their homeroom teacher, exposing him as crude and arrogant. However, after she carelessly leaves her phone behind, Akira returns it, having discovered her Twitter alias. Surprisingly, he offers to make her fantasies real, on the condition that she keeps his true nature hidden from others. Despite a series of mishaps and what feels like endless bad luck, Eriko finds herself in a situation that might finally turn things around for her.
