Momoka Onigawara wants to have a fulfilling high school life without anyone finding out her embarrassing secret – her family are oni, with their horns popping out when they get flustered. She reunites with her former childhood friend Ren, who wants to make a movie to one-up his famous director father. After they find out that the script he seeks was originally written by Ren's father, Momoka's father, and Momoka's dead mother when they were high schoolers, they decide to live out their youth by making the movie.

The power to function. As people, we are richly blessed to have the wide ranging scope of what we can accomplish…physically and mentally…that aid in everything we desire to strive for and, ideally, accomplish. However, what if someone was experiencing daily life with these elements….only in a more muted manner?
