After classroom seats are reshuffled, ordinary high school student Mizuno finds himself seated next to the enigmatic Wakao. To everyone else in class, she's just a stunningly beautiful, perfectly normal girl—but Mizuno alone sees her as a Noppera-bo, the faceless yokai from Japanese folklore. Still, every now and then, he manages to steal rare, fleeting glimpses of her actual features. This romantic, often comedic coming-of-age story follows the endearing pair as they stumble through the trials of high school and the awkward, heartfelt journey of first love.
