Aki is a genius musician, composing songs for a famous rock band (Crude Play) under the famous producer Takagi. He was a member before their debut but he withdrew after he found out that Shinya was better at playing his part as his ghost musician. His life was all about music or related to music. His ex-girlfriend was the famous singer Mari, who was also cheating on him with Takagi. He felt that he was being manipulated by Takagi, went into depression and desperately tried to find something that he could held outside of music. Through fate, he met Riko, a teenage girl who fell in love with him at first sight. Despite not being in love with her, he started to date her on a whim. He lied to her about his own identity, his past relationship and his own feeling. Unknown to him, Riko was actually a talented singer with a unique voice which was scouted by Takagi just recently.
The manga won the award for best Shōjo manga at the 59th Shogakukan Manga Awards.[3]
