The work is a romantic comedy centred on Haruka Sato, an office worker dreaming of dramatic romance, and Takeshi Obito, a science graduate student. On her first day at her new workplace, Haruka encounters Obito wearing an ‘outerwear like a kotatsu quilt’ and decides at first glance he's not her type. Further shocked by Obito's tactless words and actions, she blurts out, ‘You don't seem popular at all!’ ending their first meeting disastrously. The next day, when Haruka tries to apologise to Obito, she finds herself unexpectedly moved by his actions. (Source: Shogakukan, translated)
