In an Alternate History, Horned Humanoids have existed since the dawn of time, as they have co-existed alongside non-horned humans in all points in history.
Tsunoko Yagisawa, a third-year university student with a flair for indulging into fairy-tale fantasies, has a long horn to her head where it sometimes puts her in rather embarrassing situations such as piercing someone's books with it or even accidentally hitting with it.
She gets smitten to Hanasaka, one of her classmates in the same classroom in her university, but she finds herself unable to confess for unknown reasons, dreading for the fact that her feelings onto him are not genuine. Can she confess her love to Hanasaka?
