Shyness that haunts him

Nerd X Nerd

____///____

Satoru Gojo is a literature student—quiet, shy, and hopelessly clumsy, with white hair, light blue eyes behind thin glasses, and a constant nervous blush.

In the silent routine of the university library, he begins to notice a girl who studies a few tables ahead of him every afternoon. She is as quiet and focused as he is, and their brief, accidental eye contact becomes the highlight of his day. For weeks, he rehearses simple greetings in his head but never finds the courage to speak. Everything changes on a particularly calm afternoon when, carrying an unstable pile of books, he trips in the aisle and sends them crashing onto her desk. In a moment of absolute silence, red-faced and flustered, his long, quiet admiration finally turns into an unavoidable—and painfully awkward—first interaction.
