Resume
The story is about Nakahara Sunako a girl that has suffered a trauma after being called "ugly" by the only guy she confessed to. Due to this trauma, she avoids everything that looks beautiful.

As time goes on, Sunako's aunt orders four handsome high school students that live in her mansion for free to turn Sunako into a "beautiful lady". The aunt promises to let the four high school students to keep living for free in the mansion if they fulfil the order.
The good news for the four high school students is that Sunako is beautiful, although she hides her beauty. The problem lies in her attitude and likes. Since she has shut herself in for a lot of time, she has become a rather macabre person. She likes everything that has to do with horror, terror, ghosts, etc. The biggest task these four high school students have to face is her personality and likes.
