<Introduction
Junta Shiraishi, a first-year high school student, has a quality that no one can imitate.
Even when he is next to someone, he is unnoticed, and even when he attends school every day, he is mistakenly thought to be absent.
He was a "mob" boy with zero presence.

He was still living a modest school life in his own way, but there was one thing that was a bit annoying.
Only Kubo-san, a beautiful "heroine-level" girl in his class, finds him and starts messing around with him.

A "mob" boy who can't be special and a "heroine" girl who appears in front of him.
From the corner of the classroom, adolescence begins to slowly change color...

Anyone can be someone's "special. But the two are still a little young to be in love. The adolescent sweet comedy of the heroine girl and the mob boy, which is two steps before the "love comedy", opens.
