Komiya was nobody in middle school — quiet, unnoticed, forgettable. High school was supposed to change that. His goal: become the most popular guy at Boushi High. It takes him one day to become infamous instead.

After confessing to the school's most beautiful girl on his knees, in front of everyone, and getting spectacularly rejected, Komiya finds himself friendless and decides to hide in the library during breaks. There he meets Noriko — a girl in a beret who keeps to herself and has a very deep passion for films and novels with a quiet ambition to create something of her own.

She wasn't supposed to matter to his plan. Neither was he to hers. But their unlikely partnership means more to them than either could've predicted.
