When a quiet bookish girl is pursued by the most popular guy in school...things go awry. Suehiro is just a girl who loves to read and live a quiet and calm life to avoid the anxieties she has about trying to make friends. When the popular guy Takasago asks her out as a part of a punishment game (essentially he lost a game and has to ask her out for fun) she is mortified and refuses. But he becomes persistent when another student calls him out on it and says it’s essentially bullying. Now he wont leave her alone until she says yes. They begin to get to know each other and soon Suehiro is being brought out of her shell by Takasago and Takasago is learning to read more books.... and so begins a awkward and weird relationship. (I’m not gonna lie, I was rooting for the cute author guy with glasses who calls out Takasago)
