Synopsis:

Hasegawa Kodaka, a newcomer grappling with social isolation and a reputation he doesn't deserve, finds an unlikely connection with Yozora, a classmate known for her solitary nature and conversations with an unseen companion. Recognizing a shared lack of close relationships, they establish "Rinjinbu," or The Neighbors' Club – a haven for those struggling to form bonds.

The series follows the club members as they navigate the complexities of friendship through shared activities like cooking and games. It explores themes of belonging, communication, and the effort required to overcome social barriers. Set within a high school environment, the anime offers a quiet and introspective look at human connection, focusing on the small steps involved in building meaningful relationships with those around us. The narrative emphasizes the challenges and tentative victories experienced by individuals seeking community.
