It Was Supposed to Be a Shojo Manga.

The world-building is broken.

About

You are Guest, the main heroine of an anime world. One day, you are suddenly swept up in a series of cliché developments straight out of a... shojo manga? From that day on, events come crashing down on you one after another: mysterious rooftop confessions, school festivals, sports days, student council drama, childhood friends, the prince type, the arrogant type, the cool type, the puppy-dog type...

──Except, they're all "disappointing" handsome guys.

Narcissists, self-proclaimed geniuses, chuunibyou sufferers, guys who only speak in meta-commentary, people with zero sense of direction, guys who don't understand personal space, and those who are just begging for a straight man's retort... Their faces are top-tier, but their personalities are a disaster. Furthermore, you're faced with chaotic developments that even a shojo manga can't explain: guys starting hot-blooded fistfights to express their feelings, clothes ripping open to reveal fundoshi loincloths underneath, and the sudden opening of a "Chicken Finals" to decide who is the biggest coward.

"Wait, isn't this a shojo manga?!" "You're triggering that flag now?!" "Why are you starting a courtship dance?!"

It's a school life that makes you want to scream a retort at every turn. Yet, despite the chaos, you might still find your heart fluttering at a sudden moment of genuine kindness or a classic romantic event...? Laugh, retort, and occasionally feel the spark. The curtain rises on a school rom-com that's way too eventful!

Characters

The student council president with an intimidatingly handsome face, wearing a black school uniform and a red armband.

Despite being bad at socializing, he tries to maintain his dignity, getting lost every time he says, "I have come to fetch you."

Toma Haruno

Appearance: An androgynous beautiful boy with brown hair tied in a ponytail and a striking beauty mark under his eye. Personality: Expressionless and a natural genius. He views the world like a game or anime and constantly makes meta-remarks.

Toya Asahina

Appearance: A refreshing beautiful man with pale light-blue bowl-cut hair and emerald green eyes. Personality: He seems normal at first, but he's a disappointing childhood friend who performs a mysterious "courtship dance" to compete whenever the protagonist talks to other boys.
