"Ms. Tsundere" and "Mr. Loner"

I, Kazuhiko Kazushi, am currently in my second year of high school.

I’m not your typical high school student. My classmates call me “Mr. Loner” because I spend my school days alone. It’s not that I chose this life; I’m just bad at communicating with others, especially my classmates.

This has been my reality since my first year of middle school.

Despite being a loner, I’m grateful that my classmates don’t bully me. Sometimes, I think they avoid bullying me because they fear something bad might happen to them if they do.

I really can’t blame them; I’m not just a loner but also a gloomy person who wears gloomy glasses and gloomy clothes. From an average person’s point of view, who would want to associate with someone like that?

I have low self-esteem, and it sucks to have communication problems. I often wish I wasn’t born this way. But anyways, let’s change the topic since it’s quite depressing.

In our class, if I’m the lowest person, there’s also the highest person, known as “Ms. Tsundere.” Her real name is Furumi Furimizawa.

Now, you might wonder why she’s called “Ms. Tsundere” despite being the highest person in our class. It’s a mocking nickname given by the boys who misunderstand her. She often speaks in a way that can easily be mistaken for her so called, "tsundere" behavior.

If you ask me whether she’s a tsundere, I’d say no. As an anime otaku, I know how real tsunderes act. However, there’s always a possibility she could be one since this is real life, not anime. So, it’s essential to distinguish between the two.

To sum it up, Furimizawa-san is just someone who is being misunderstood by our classmates.

So, that’s how she got the title “Ms. Tsundere.” You might think it’s rude to give such a nickname to the highest person in the class, right? But despite the title, many guys in our class—and even from other classes—admire her. They’ve confessed their love to her, only to be harshly rejected.

What’s more interesting is that every guy she rejects completely misunderstands her rejections. They think Furimizawa-san is just a tsundere who can’t admit her true feelings. Isn’t it crazy for them to think like that? They must have a screw loose to believe such nonsense.

Moreover, they’re indirectly suggesting that Furimizawa-san likes everyone and wants to create her own reverse harem. I feel bad for her in this case.

However, it’s partly Furimizawa-san’s fault for not addressing and correcting these misunderstandings. She hasn’t reflected on her actions, which only fuels the confusion.

I’m just glad to be the lowest person in our class, free from such troublesome situations. Or so I thought, until that unexpected day…

I was running late and sprinting through the halls when I collided with someone. We both hit the ground hard, but something even more shocking happened…

I accidentally kissed the person I bumped into. And that person was none other than Furimizawa-san!

This incident would soon change my daily life—no, our daily lives. I wonder what the future holds for me now… Haaah…
