Takumi always enjoyed his peaceful, uneventful life as a background character at Higashino Academy. Content with his mediocrity, he actively avoids drama and attention. His ultimate goal? Graduate quietly and work a stable job-nothing special.
But one afternoon, without thinking, Takumi impulsively saves Reina Akasaki-the school's beloved heroine-from an embarrassing incident. Overnight, his status skyrockets, shattering his peaceful existence.
Now, Reina won't leave him alone, convinced he's her "fated protector," thrusting him unwillingly into the spotlight. Worse, rivals, admirers, and even the school's popular characters now see Takumi as either a hero or a threat.
For someone whose greatest ambition was invisibility, Takumi's life suddenly becomes a comedic rollercoaster filled with misunderstandings, school-wide gossip, and an overly affectionate heroine determined to "reward" her rescuer.
