Alice Cunningham, heiress of the prestigious Cunningham Hotel Tokyo, is engaged to Reiji, the family’s dedicated secretary. Reiji is handsome, cool, and responsible, and Alice is head over heels for him. Yet no matter how fervently she expresses her love, his responses remain ice-cold. He teases her with passionate kisses, drives her wild with his touch, and ensures she drowns in waves of pleasure, but Alice wants more than physical satisfaction. What she truly desires is his heart. The story follows Alice’s emotional journey as she tries to uncover Reiji’s true feelings and determine whether his affection is real or purely physical.

Set against the backdrop of the upscale Cunningham Hotel Tokyo, the manga blends steamy romance with the tension of a one-sided emotional investment. The narrative arc revolves around Alice’s growing desperation to break through Reiji’s cool exterior, their intimate encounters, and the question of whether love can emerge from what seems like a one-sided arrangement. As the chapters progress, Alice’s vulnerability clashes with Reiji’s enigmatic demeanor, leading to moments of raw emotion and revelation. The manga, a complete single-volume story by Miju Inoue with art by Fumi Takamura, explores themes of desire, emotional intimacy, and the gap between physical passion and genuine connection.
