Shizuka Tanaka thought leaving her tiny fishing island for high school life in Kagoshima City would be the start of her dream otaku romance adventure.
Instead, it’s been nothing but homework, instant noodles, and late-night manga shifts—until he walks in.
A mysterious customer who buys nothing but obscure “trash manga.” A quiet boy with polite smiles and eyes like unfinished stories.
By day, he’s Louis Devereux—the new foreign transfer student who seems too perfect to be real.
By night, he’s the same masked stranger who keeps turning her world upside down.
Now Shizuka’s stuck between reality and fantasy, caught in a story that’s somehow both.
Romance, mystery, and a hint of danger are about to rewrite the script she thought she knew by heart.
A slow-burn romantic dramedy about manga, misfits, and the chaos of falling for someone who might not be as fictional as he seems.
