As third-year begins at Tokyo’s Strategic Leadership Academy, an elite high school/college where students come from business-owning families, Rintarō lives two lives: a good-looking nobody by day, and the faceless viral creator MidnightChef by night. His family sells European chocolates, and his love of cooking began in childhood, trying to make something warm and filling for his poor friend, Yui.

He meets many clients behind estate doors...
Second-year once-bully and lively Kotone, who is still beaten by her mother.
Third-year rich and angelic Wakami, who has a palate for dishes, but a greater interest in people.
Third-year adoring Yui, an Affordability Influencer who has entered the Academy with self-tenacity.

At the start of this year, the Academy publicly spotlights failed family businesses, and the Rintarō name is ousted, surprising his secret admirers and forcing him to further disassociate from his family identity and cling to anonymity, or break out of his shell.
