Kubo sees him when literally nobody else does, and the show is just her refusing to let that invisibility stick. The chemistry between them has the kind of ease that makes you remember why high school romance felt like the whole world. It's pure comfort, no melodrama, no obstacles except his own disbelief that someone could actually want him around.

Junta Shiraishi has perfected the art of disappearing. Not literally, but socially: he's so easy to overlook that classmates and even teachers fail to notice him, though all he wants is to enjoy his high school years to the fullest. Then Nagisa Kubo takes the seat beside him in their first year. She's the one person who always spots him, and her steady teasing keeps pulling him into odd situations, from speaking up in class to being seen at the bookstore and around town. Based on a manga by Yukimori Nene, this romantic comedy is a light slice-of-life tale of a quiet boy whose dull routine gets shaken up.
