Murai in Love follows Murai, who is a shy high schooler. Often invisible, he has long hair and is not someone you would consider exceptionally beautiful. One day, he confesses to a girl he loves, but she turns him down because she only has eyes for her games. However, the next morning Murai wakes up and decides to change things up. He shows up looking like a completely different person, with short and dyed hair, with clothes resembling Tanaka’s favorite character. All thing to win Tanaka over – but will he succeed?
