Jirou Yakuin

Meet Jirou Yakuin, your typical high school loner. He’s got a knack for seeing the glass as half-empty and prefers the company of his pessimistic thoughts over people. But life throws him a curveball when he’s paired up with Akari Watanabe for a “Couple Practical” class. Jirou's heart is set on his childhood crush, Shiori Sakurazaka, and he’s dead set on switching partners to be with her. Yet, as he fumbles his way through this faux romance with Akari, he starts feeling a confusing tug-of-war between his old crush and the unexpected connection he’s forming. Talk about mixed signals!
