**Story** The protagonist, Naoto Chihara, is a second chef working at the mansion of the Amagi family, one of Japan's leading conglomerates. One day, he is summoned by his employer, the lady of the house, who expresses concern about her only daughter attending a prestigious school. She asks him to take a position as the cooking staff at the academy, where there is a vacancy, and to discreetly observe her daughter. On the day of his appointment, Naoto is overwhelmed by the traditional school building of Maishiro Girls' Academy. He is filled with anticipation, thinking, "This place, surrounded by girls, will be my new workplace..." However, his superior, Yakumo Tendou, delivers a shocking revelation: "You will be working as my assistant starting today, Chihiro Asakura. You will be attending as a girl." "What?!" "In order to better gauge the situation of Miss Sakuya, you will not only work as a cook but also attend as a female student. The transfer procedures have already been completed." "?!" Despite his resistance, Naoto finds himself swayed by his superior's pleading and the face of the lady he has always been indebted to. "Um... Nice to meet you, I’m Chihiro Asakura, the transfer student and cook..." In a situation where being discovered would not only jeopardize his mission but could also lead to being reported as a pervert, Chihiro attracts attention with her androgynous appearance and her unique title as both a student and a cook. Can she navigate school life without being found out as a boy!? --- **Characters** **[Cross-dressing × Pastry Chef × Considerate]** ● Chihiro Asakura (CV: Hinahazuki) The protagonist of this story. A second chef working at the mansion of the Amagi family, one of Japan's leading conglomerates. She possesses professional-level skills in pastry making. Adopted by her stepmother who works at the mansion since childhood, she was raised surrounded by her stepfamily with love, as if they were blood relatives. One day, she is summoned by the lady of the house and is informed that she will be attending Maishiro Girls' Academy, but she is bewildered to learn she must cross-dress to do so. However, due to her strong sense of responsibility, she decides to accept it. Only her superior, Yakumo, and the lady of the house know she is attending as Chihiro. Her real family is unaware... or rather, she is too embarrassed to tell them. "Is it really okay to cross-dress? What if I get found out?" --- **[Beautiful × Clumsy × Loves Cute Things]** ● Sakuya Amagi (CV: Yamada Yuna) Vice president of the student council. A second-year student. With her beautiful features, she is often compared to a Western doll. Academically excellent, she performs her duties as vice president of the student council flawlessly and has a strong trust from both students and faculty. She is so capable that it makes her somewhat of a solitary figure at the academy. Although she loves cute things, she keeps this a secret, but everyone around her finds it endearing. She is the only daughter of the mansion where Naoto works. "Being with you feels strangely calming." --- **[Energetic × Diligent × Everyone's Idol]** ● Akari Natsume (CV: Fujimori Yukina) President of the student council. A second-year student. Known for her trademark smile, she is a beloved character. She approaches everything with sincerity and often finds herself at the center of social gatherings. Her cheerful demeanor and approachable behavior help ease the tension around her. Rather than being described as beautiful, she is referred to as cute. A down-to-earth young lady, she interacts warmly with the protagonist who is struggling to adapt to school life. With the upcoming dance festival and a major welcoming event for students from other schools, she is busy running around the academy as president. "I'll always be here for you!" --- **[Maid × Devoted × Loves her Brother]** ● Noa Chihara (CV: Moeka Choko) Naoto's step-sister and a first-year student. At Maishiro Academy, she wears a maid outfit (self-proclaimed) and engages in various duties. With her adorable baby face and petite stature, she gives off a small animal impression. The sibling relationship is so close that they call each other "chan." She is unaware that Naoto is attending as "Chihiro," and unknowingly shares stories about her brother, causing him embarrassment. She adores him more than just as a sibling, and can get adorably jealous when she sees him with other girls. "Leave it to me!" --- **[Older Sister × Versatile × Coquettish]** ● Satsuki Makise (CV: Shiratsuki Kaname) Former student council president. A third-year student. She possesses a well-defined face, perfect figure, and outstanding academic performance, making her a charismatic figure with immense popularity within the academy. Chosen as the symbolic princess (Edel) of the previous year's dance festival, she is affectionately called "Princess Satsuki" or "Satsuki Onee-sama" by students. Although she might seem unapproachable due to her perfection, she has a gentle demeanor and is caring and approachable. With her charm and humility, she has become an object of admiration and has many fans. Also, she is the daughter of a leading conglomerate and is childhood friends with Sakuya, whom she calls by her first name. She takes an interest in Chihiro, who possesses a unique charm unlike anyone else, and often seeks her out. "Hehe, I've memorized your name." --- **[Cool × Laid-back × Hidden Passion]** ● Serika Hyoudo (CV: Arisugawa Miyami) Student council secretary. A first-year student. The only first-year member of the student council, she is a talented girl. She prioritizes pursuing a certain dream and doesn't concern herself much with fitting in with others. Although she is often misunderstood, she shows great interest in things she likes, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She is particularly passionate about organizing the dance festival and actively participates in its planning. "I surprisingly have a knack for being helpful, you know?"
