S01E01 Heroine and Background Character
Junta may be a living NPC, but Kubo’s dare just turned him into the momentary main character! But if he’s the hero, what does that make her?
Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible
S01E04: Red Heart and Secret Admirer
It’s Valentine’s Day for his classmates, but an ordinary Monday for Junta. Except someone left sweets at his desk. It must have been an accident; it’s the only explanation!
Overview
First year high schooler Junta Shiraishi is a mob character who goes unnoticed even when he's standing right next to you. But his classmate, "heroine-level beauty" Kubo, always notices him and is there to tease him. Anyone can become special to someone, but it might be a little too early to call these feelings "love." Perhaps this story is still two-steps from being a romantic comedy--let's call it a sweet comedy where a background character becomes visible!
