Aside from that, I don't see why Masuzu is the school beauty.
Tall. Long, luscious hair. Soft and slender figure. Good face. She meets all the usual requirements for being an anime "school beauty", imo.

Is she an utter bombshell? No. But nor is Akemi Homura or Accel World's KYH, but they were similarly presented as "school beauties".

Playing around with tropes is fine, as long as it makes enough sense for the genre it's being used in. I have a hard time seeing how a person would fall in love with another after they have blackmailed you...
I probably wouldn't fall for a person that blackmailed me either, but weirder things have happened in anime, imo.
