Jimiko na Mitsuba-san ga Boku wo Yuuwaku Suru

Takeisha is an ordinary high school student who has spent his adolescence carefully maintaining his distance from girls. Haunted by past romantic rejections, he makes every effort to avoid misunderstandings and keep his interactions strictly platonic. However, his quiet, guarded existence is disrupted by the one person sitting right beside him in class: Akari Mitsuba. To the rest of their classmates, she is a plain, unassuming girl who frequently fades into the background and is easily forgotten. Yet behind her modest exterior lies someone who relentlessly pursues Takeisha's attention for reasons he cannot fathom. Despite her timid appearance, Akari acts with surprising boldness, constantly making advances that leave him entirely off balance. She crosses his personal boundaries again and again, behaving less like a shy wallflower and more like a patient predator closing in on her target. Takeisha desperately attempts to suppress his growing attraction, clinging to the emotional walls he built after his previous heartbreaks. But as Akari continues her quiet yet persistent campaign of seduction, he finds his resolve crumbling, slowly falling for the very girl he swore to keep at arm's length.
