Now, guided by tangled feelings and unconventional goals, Manami and Minoru Mineta walk a new path together.
A hero born from manipulation...
A hacker finding her reason to live...
Two small hearts... with dangerously big plans.
Chinami Kazane had never really been a people person. Her whole life she found herself blending into the background, a secondary character in her own life. Or, the bitchy rival to the main character. Both were rather fitting. After loosing her aunt in an accident two years ago she found herself even more alone than before, in a single bedroom apartment with the company of her single cat. Finding a sense of courage, Chinami decides to take the entrance exam into the UA high hero course to live on in her late parents footsteps. Little did she know, a whole world of action and change was waiting for her on the other side of the schools doors.
