A sweet "aww"-inspiring tale of school life begins!!
At school, Kyouko Hori is known for being smart, attractive, and popular. On the other hand, her classmate, the boring, gloomy Izumi Miyamura tends to get painted as a "loser fanboy." But when a liberally pierced and tattooed (not to mention downright gorgeous) Miyamura appears unexpectedly on the doorstep of secretly plain-Jane homebody Hori, these two similarly dissimilar teenagers discover that there are multiple sides to every story...and person!
As a whole I very much enjoyed this series. It has some very sweet moments among the growing friend group. There are also some good examples of becoming more comfortable with who you are growing to be, especially when that is a very different person than who you were.
I do feel it trailed off a little vaguely there at the end, but the short after story was a nice little glimpse of the future.
