First Love Monster

Fifteen-year-old Kaho Nikaidou has spent her entire life sheltered from the outside world, but everything changes when she leaves home to attend high school in Tokyo. Her fresh start in the city takes a dramatic turn almost immediately when she nearly steps into the path of an oncoming truck. She is rescued at the last possible second by a striking young man, and the terrifying encounter quickly blossoms into intense infatuation. Determined to find her mysterious savior, Kaho searches until she finally locates him and courageously confesses her feelings. To her delight, the young man—whose name is Kanade—happens to be the son of her new landlord. Even more surprisingly, he accepts her confession and agrees to become her boyfriend. However, Kaho’s romantic excitement comes to an abrupt halt when she discovers an unbelievable truth about the handsome object of her affection. Despite his mature appearance, Kanade is actually a fifth-grade elementary school student. Now, Kaho must navigate the bewildering reality of dating someone so much younger than herself, turning what should have been a typical teenage romance into a highly unconventional situation.
