Momo Adachi (Mizuki Yamamoto) is a female high school student, always at a loss because she's mistaken as an “easy bimbo girl” due to her appearance. Furthermore, somehow a rumor spreads that she had kissed the most popular boy in her grade, Kairi Okayasu (Kei Inoo) and she has to deal with being the target of harassment by other girls who like him. But ever since junior high school, Momo has actually been fond of a boy called Toji. He gives his all to the baseball club, and although Momo can watch Toji from a distance, she is never able to reveal her feelings.
The film was third place on its opening weekend in Japan, earning US$1.29 million.[7]
