Synopsis
This teen romantic comedy follows the unpredictable daily life of Reina Aharen, a short and quiet girl, and Raidō, her classmate who sits beside her.
Aharen struggles with understanding personal space—sometimes keeping her distance, other times getting too close. At first, Raidō notices a certain detachment between them, but when he casually picks up an eraser she dropped, their dynamic shifts drastically.
From being too distant to way too close, Aharen’s unpredictability leads to many comedic and heartwarming moments.
