Maehara Maki had always struggled to connect with others during high school, never managing to form close friendships. That changed when Asanagi-san entered the picture—someone who actually wanted to spend time with him outside of class. For the first time, he didn’t feel completely alone. Though she wasn’t the most popular girl, whispers among their classmates labeled her as the second most attractive in their grade. The boys would murmur about it when they thought no one was listening, but Maki knew better. To him, her kindness mattered far more than superficial rankings. She didn’t treat him like an outcast, and that alone made her special. Their friendship was something he never expected, yet it became the brightest part of his otherwise lonely days. Even if others overlooked her, he saw the warmth in her smile, the way she made ordinary moments feel meaningful. In a world where he had always been invisible, Asanagi-san was the one who finally noticed him.
