Synopsis:

The series follows Raidou, a high school freshman eager to forge connections, particularly with his classmate Reina Aharen. Reina, despite harboring a desire for friendship, is deeply challenged by social cues and personal space. Her extreme awkwardness makes navigating even basic interactions a difficult endeavor, leading to humorous and often frustrating attempts at connection between the pair.

The narrative centers on Raidou’s persistent efforts to understand and accommodate Reina's unique social limitations. It explores the complexities of building relationships when fundamental communication barriers exist, focusing on patience, understanding, and the small acts of kindness that bridge divides. The atmosphere is gentle and observational, emphasizing the subtle nuances of human interaction within a familiar high school setting.
