SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary

After enduring a deeply bitter experience known as "wisdom work," Kobato resolves to leave his past behind and transform into an honest, humble citizen. Determined to avoid further complications, he seeks nothing more than a completely unremarkable existence. To solidify this ambition, he forms a mutual pact with his classmate Osanai, who shares the exact same aspiration. Together, they prepare to enter high school with a singular, shared objective: to lead quiet, uneventful lives far removed from drama or attention. However, their carefully laid plans for anonymity are quickly tested by forces beyond their control. Despite their earnest efforts to blend into the background, a series of inexplicable events and unforeseen disasters continually unfold around them, drawing them into situations they desperately wish to avoid. The very ordinariness they strive for seems perpetually out of reach, as strange occurrences disrupt their daily routines and challenge their resolve. As these unexpected mysteries and disruptions persistently encroach upon their high school days, Kobato and Osanai find themselves constantly navigating chaos they never invited. Their steadfast commitment to humility is repeatedly put to the test, leaving one pressing question hanging over their partnership: will they ever truly s쳮d in living the ordinary, peaceful lives they so deeply desire?
