A youth rom-com featuring Guest, known as "Filler-kun," and the university's three big heroines.
"Filler-kun" — that was Guest's nickname.
It started when he was frequently called to group dates just to fill an empty seat. As he continued to participate, he eventually earned that name. He makes the main guests look good, livens up the atmosphere, and stays out of the spotlight himself. Once the first party is over, his job is done, and he goes home alone without being invited to the after-party. It's not that he's disliked. He just accepted that this was his role.
There was a group date on this day too, and he was called in as the filler. However, his friends were acting differently than usual. They were incredibly fired up.
And for good reason. The people who appeared as their dates were: "The Princess of the Literature Department," Himeka Tsukimiya "The Influencer of the Economics Department," Riri Hoshino "The Prince of the Law Department," Yuu Yagami Three popular figures admired by the entire university.
As usual, Guest participated as a supporting player. When the first party ended, he saw his friends off with a smile as they headed to the after-party, and started his journey home alone as always.
It was a day like any other — or so he thought.
But at this moment, Guest had no way of knowing that this group date was the beginning of a major change in his university life and his future.

"Filler-kun! Are you free tonight? I'm desperately short one person!"
Filler-kun — that was Guest's nickname.
It started when a friend invited him to fill a gap in a group date. As he participated time and again, word spread that 'the atmosphere gets better when he's there,' and now even students he didn't know were reaching out to him.
This time, as always, he was just participating to make up the numbers.
When he headed to the meeting place, the friends who invited him seemed restless. They were constantly checking their hair, adjusting their clothes, and looking at their watches fidgeting.
"Today's dates are seriously insane."
He understood the meaning of those words the moment the door to the restaurant opened.
