It's the age-old tale: A girl's into a clueless guy. While all Chiyo Sakura can think about is Nozaki, all Nozaki cares about are the manga deadlines looming over his head. When Sakura attempts to confess to Nozaki, a misunderstanding causes her to become his assistant! But she soon discovers Nozaki isn't just any manga author-he's the famous "Yumeno Sakiko" who writes the popular romance manga "Let's Fall in Love"!
Nozaki's friend and fellow manga artist Mikoshiba pays a visit. Considering Mikoshiba is pretty much Nozaki's foil, Sakura can't figure out how or why the two are friends.
Sakura learns that she and Mikoshiba aren't the only ones helping Nozaki with his mangas. Concerned with who may be cozying up to Nozaki, Sakura is on a new mission.
Mikoshiba is invited to a mixer, but isn't sure about his social skills. Fortunately, with a little help from Nozaki and Sakura, he might be able to figure it out just enough.
When Sakura notices that Nozaki's apartment is pristine, she panics, worried that he's trying to impress another girl. What she discovers is even more irritating.
Nozaki needs inspiration for his artwork so Sakura decides to take him on what she believes is a date, but a few awkward encounters make her reconsider.
Sakura and Nozaki find themselves living in a real-life manga, but while Sakura daydreams of romance it's no surprise to find that Nozaki is completely clueless.
