STORY Newly enrolled in high school and completely single, 16 year old Erika Shinohara brags about her romantic experiences. Before long, her friends express doubts that she even has a boyfriend. To cover her lies, Erika takes a picture of a random, good-looking boy she sees in the city. But, after she presents the photo to her friends as "proof", she discovers the boy is actually Kyouya Sata, a popular student attending the same high school. Erika approaches Kyouya and explains her dilemma. He agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend, but under one condition... she must be absolutely obedient to him! The "prince" of the school is actually a "black prince" with a sadistic streak who treats Erika like a dog. Can real love grow from a twisted relationship born from a lie?
