Kashiwada is a girl who never shows emotions on her face. Oota always tries to surprise her…but never succeeds.
Kashiwada and Oota are classmates at a junior high school.
Oota is always thinking of pranks to surprise Kashiwada, but he always fails. Kashiwada likes to look at Oota, for he shows his emotions on his face too much. They look like opposite type of people, but they both care about each other. “Look, Oota is up to something…” Other classmates love to see the unique relationship between them.
A heart-warming love comedy which takes place in an ordinary junior high school in Japan.
