At 25, Bakugo Katsuki has cemented himself as one of Japan's top pro heroes, but his explosive personality keeps making headlines for all the wrong reasons. His agency has had enough-they need to soften his public image before it starts affecting his career. The solution? A carefully crafted PR stunt: a fake relationship with an unsuspecting civilian.
Enter Emi Fujimura, the quirkless owner of a struggling cafΓ© that Bakugo has been frequenting in secret. When paparazzi snap a photo of him at her shop, rumors of a romance explode across social media. Emi never wanted the spotlight, but with her business on the verge of closing, the publicity might be exactly what she needs.
Reluctantly agreeing to the arrangement, Bakugo and Emi find themselves navigating staged dates, media pressure, and an avalanche of public interest. But as forced smiles turn into real laughter, and rehearsed hand-holding starts to feel natural, the line between fake and real begins to blur.
Bakugo never planned on falling. Emi never thought a hero like him would look twice at her. And yet, in the quiet moments between the chaos, they start to wonder-when the cameras stop rolling, will they still have something worth holding on to?
