Kurutsu-san wa Niowasetai

Kurusu-san is a high school girl who always tries to make her classmates think she has a boyfriend. She drops hints, wears accessories, and acts mysteriously to create the illusion of a secret romance. Her efforts are elaborate and constant, but no one seems to notice—except for one quiet boy in her class.

That boy, who sits nearby, quietly observes her failed attempts. He sees through her act and realizes she is actually alone. Instead of exposing her, he becomes curious about why she goes to such lengths. As he watches her, he starts to feel drawn to her, and their interactions slowly begin to change.
