Here’s an overview of the manga series, via Manga Dex:
Satou-san is the unattainable flower of the class. She is always cold and curt with classmates, but only I know she’s actually very cute when she smiles, even if she’s not much of a photographer. Oshio-kun is friendly and lively, but only I know he works at his family’s cafe after school. He does a great job with the cafe’s SNS account, and his mischievous smile makes my heart skip a beat!
