Synopsis
Rinna Isshiki skipped grades, graduated top of her university class, and became an inspector at the Modern Crime Special Investigation Headquarters at just 17. Brilliant and always composed, she is called “Steel” and is thought to have nothing to do with the world of romance.
However, whenever she is with Meishi Rokutanda, a hopeless detective who assists in investigations, her heart races for no clear reason. Meishi then makes a proposal: “How about trying going out with me?” To uncover the cause of her racing heart, the two secretly start dating as a fake couple.
In this sweet romantic comedy, two beginners in love take on a “tough case” called first love.
