Nighttime for Just Us Two

For the unnamed protagonist of this story, navigating high school has always meant blending into the background. So thoroughly invisible is she that not a single classmate can recall her name. Her quiet, anonymous existence is abruptly upended when Koga-kun, the most popular boy in their entire school, suddenly approaches her with an unexpected desire to become friends. This startling attention forces her to confront a deeply confusing reality, leaving her unsure of which revelation is more bizarre: the fact that the school’s social star wants anything to do with her, or his unwavering insistence that he is actually an extraterrestrial being. Despite his outlandish claims about his origins, one detail proves that Koga-kun is paying closer attention than anyone else ever has. He knows her real name, a simple yet profound acknowledgment she had long stopped expecting from her peers. Rather than allowing her to fade back into obscurity, he seems entirely determined to ensure she no longer drifts through her high school years unnoticed. Caught between his eccentric alien assertions and his genuine interest in her identity, the heroine finds herself drawn into an unconventional connection that challenges everything she thought she knew about her place in the world.
