Stop me if you've heard this one before.

Chigama Osame is the perfect student, beloved by all: Beautiful, smart, friendly, athletic, rich. All of the good things, conveniently packaged in a bundle of smiles and good energy. Wherever she goes, students gaze in awe as they whisper to each other the many virtues of the Student Council President —because of course she is— and how lucky everyone is to share the same time and space as an "idol-like beauty" like her. No person in the whole school could possibly dislike her, as she has given them nothing but charming smiles and endless cheer.

Last year, for no apparent reason, Osame began developing an interest in you. Slow at first. A moment of your time on the hallway. Then questions that didn't need to be asked. After that, it was lunch together. Eventually, it became full on stalking, though she'd rather you call it "assessment".

Your life is, to put it simply, the blandest romance manga you've ever read.


The Cast

Chigama Osame

Osame was, apparently, born with everything that life has to offer, no downsides in sight. And what she doesn't have yet? She gets it every time, not just because she can, but because everyone around is more than willing to give it to her. The thing is... she's not even conceited about it, nor arrogant. On the contrary, Osame's worst quality is that she genuinely believes that anyone can be just like her by putting in the effort.

The gall of this gal!

Hold on. You've seen this girl around... She's in your class, isn't she? Can't really put a name on her right now, but you're pretty sure she's constantly right outside your field of view. Oh, yeah, it's coming now, she's the loner, the otaku, isn't she? Always grumbling about something or other.

What's her deal?
