Otakura has many hobbies — manga, anime, and collecting dolls, to name a few — that make him an “otaku”. He tries to hide his nerdy hobbies from his new high school classmates, but his diagonal neighbor spies some of his doodlings and takes an interest in his talents, particularly as they can help her. She asks “Otaku-kun” to help her re-create a press-on nails trend, try new hair styles, and even intervene with her friend who is being targeted by bullies. Otakura’s new friend, the vivacious and energetic Yua, is a “gal”, someone obsessed with fashion and being on the latest trend. The two span the hierarchy of social ladders, but Yua could care less about Otakura’s reputation.
