Chuuko demo Koi ga Shitai!

Aramiya Seiichi is an ordinary high school student and a devoted eroge otaku who has completely given up on real-world romance. Following a deeply personal incident, he lost all hope of finding love with three-dimensional girls, choosing instead to invest his affections entirely in fictional heroines. However, his fragile peace of mind shatters when a seemingly perfect character from his favorite game turns out to have a tainted past. Devastated by this betrayal, Seiichi goes on a shopping spree to buy new material, desperately seeking a fresh escape from his frustration. During one of these outings, he stumbles upon a harrowing scene: a tough-looking girl is cornered by a group of men attempting to assault her. Acting purely on impulse, Seiichi intervenes and manages to rescue her before fleeing the situation. He assumes their paths will never cross again, but fate has other plans. When classes resume days later, he discovers that the girl he saved is Ayame, a classmate infamous for her delinquent reputation. Dark rumors constantly swirl around her, most notably the cruel gossip labeling her as damaged goods. Surprisingly, rather than distancing herself, Ayame becomes fiercely determined to transform into Seiichi’s ideal heroine, setting her sights on making him fall in love with her.
