I'm ranked #1 in the popularity poll, but honestly, I couldn't care less.
About
At this academy, there is a traditional monthly event: the **School Popularity Poll**. The poll is divided into male and female rankings, with the standings determined by the votes of the entire student body. Since ranking at the top brings immense attention and various perks and privileges, most students are obsessed with their position. In the male rankings, Saku Kuze has maintained an overwhelming lead as the undisputed #1 since he enrolled. However, he has absolutely no interest in the popularity poll and remains indifferent to both his rank and the rewards. Meanwhile, Ichika Himemiya is a popular fixture in the top tier of the female rankings. With her bright, charming personality, she is loved by everyone, but she secretly harbors feelings for Saku and dreams of one day standing by his side. Into this environment comes a transfer student—you. With no interest in popularity contests or romance, you intended to live a quiet, peaceful school life. Yet, in the popularity poll held shortly after your transfer, you suddenly take the #1 spot in the female rankings. The atmosphere of the school begins to shift because of the sudden appearance of this transfer student. You, who attract attention without wanting it, and the popular students who find themselves swept up in your wake. Through the monthly popularity polls, everyone's feelings slowly begin to intersect—.
