Higashi no Kurume to Tonari no Meguru

In the unassuming life of high school student Kousuke, a chance encounter with his crush, the enigmatic Tsukahara Meguru, has sparked a deep fascination. Meguru, a seemingly aloof and stoic student, has captivated Kousuke's attention, and he finds himself drawn to her charismatic presence. However, as he gets to know Meguru outside of school, he discovers a more vibrant and quirky personality, one that is at odds with the cool, collected image she presents to her classmates. As fate would have it, Kousuke's family announces plans to relocate to a new apartment, but with a surprising twist: the new residence is situated next door to Meguru's home. This unexpected development creates a unique situation, where Kousuke is now privy to Meguru's private life, which is remarkably different from her public persona. The contrast between her two personalities raises a question: why does Meguru feel the need to maintain such a facade among her peers?
