2019 – present

“I just love you sooooooo much, Senpai!” I’m Tomoki Yuuki, a second-year in high school. Pretty normal, except everyone avoids me like I’m out for blood because of my scary-looking face. The only person who doesn’t steer clear is Ike Haruma—your typical flawless protagonist you’d find in any story. School life was ordinary… until Haruma’s super popular little sister suddenly confesses to me out of nowhere! Though she later makes it clear her feelings aren’t romantic and she has an ulterior motive, I end up agreeing to be her fake boyfriend as a favor to Haruma. Believe it or not, the moment I start dating her, Haruma’s idol-tier childhood friend and my super hot teacher also get involved with me! Wait, is this a dream rom-com scenario setting itself up for me? I mean, there’s no way a side character like me could be popular, right?
