After sleeping through all four alarms, the energetic Narumi Momose rushes to her new job, determined to hide her otaku and fujoshi lifestyle from her colleagues. Yet, her plans go awry when she runs into her childhood friend Hirotaka Nifuji at work. In an effort to keep her secret, she invites him out for drinks, but her cover is blown when he asks about her plans for the upcoming Summer Comiket. Luckily, the only witnesses, Hanako Koyanagi and Tarou Kabakura, are otaku themselves.
Later that night, while unwinding over drinks, Narumi laments about a past boyfriend who broke up with her because of her fujoshi interests. Hirotaka suggests she should date a fellow otaku, nominating himself for the role. He promises to support her, especially in her Monster Hunter quests. Charmed by his proposal, Narumi agrees, embarking on the beginning of their charmingly awkward romance.
