Kosuke Seto is a quiet, diligent high school student who prefers keeping his head down, focusing entirely on his academic coursework and avoiding social friction. His orderly routine shatters when Anna Anjo, a stylish, bleach-blonde gyaru with a penchant for playful boundary-pushing, sits adjacent to him and turns his desk into her daily target. From provocative physical proximity to relentless verbal sparring, Anjo deliberately targets Seto's rigid, easily flustered demeanor.

Beneath the provocative jokes and flirtatious pranks lies genuine affection. While Seto initially interprets her teasing as outright harassment, he gradually realizes that Anjo singles him out because she respects his earnest work ethic and desires his company. As the school terms progress, their encounters move beyond classroom banter into shared study sessions, festival outings, and personal reflections on their respective futures. Seto begins developing self-worth and social confidence, while Anjo learns to navigate her own vulnerability when her teasing pushes beyond jokes into real emotional attachment.

What to Expect

The narrative avoids static status-quo tropes common in romantic comedies, favoring progressive character development across episodic classroom sketches and sustained narrative arcs. Katou Yuuichi balances expressive facial humor and ecchi fan service with grounded interpersonal stakes. Secondary relationships—particularly between the blunt, artistic Toyoda and Seto's awkward otaku classmate Inuyama—receive equal emotional weight, preventing the central dynamic from feeling isolated.
