The dull lonely man and the cultured sparkling woman .
Where will the mismatched pair’s youthful campus life lead to—?!
Souhei Sagara, a university student who champions the solitary lifestyle, lives next to the sparkling and fashionable beauty, Haruko, in his run-down apartment.
Haruko seemed like a creature from a different world compared to the drab Sagara. However, she actually was… a plain girl with no makeup who had successfully made her dazzling university debut!
Upon learning her secret, Sagara decides to help the defenseless Haruko to maintain his solo living.
“If you can become a sparkling girl, you won’t need to involve me anymore, right?”
“Sagara-kun, you’re so stubborn…”
If her true face is revealed, will her rosy campus life crumble for sure?!
The fate of the dull lonely man and the cultured sparkling girl’s unaligned youthful days—?!

It’s back! We’re so back
Is it pleasant to act like your partner is a nuisance? I'm sure you all would've loved it if he did the same to her, TL included.
Word of advice to everyone, don't waste time dating people who doesn't respect you and don't put you first above others. That is if you aren't an M ofc.
Act like a selfish bitch and get rewarded in the end. He has to fulfill your desire of a loving family even if he doesn't like it, because fuck whatever he wants, right Bitchika?
I guess this relationship will never work out if the mc didn't change himself then they can only last probably about 2-3years depending how much nanase can endured maybe even 1 year they will broke out and I guess nanase will probably get tired, just by looking at this mc, you will know he was really fated of being alone like he cannot take responsibility and always overthinking about pointless thing I know you have sense of shame or lower confident but it's still your girlfriend and also he cannot even proudly say that he was her girlfriend like don't listen on opinion of others. Also I know he does have a trauma about family because of what happens in his family but think about, it only happens because of his Womanizer dad, but just don't follow your father step and be confident, it will probably work out because of nanase. The Mc was just coward like what his sister say, always running, does he really think running forever will make his problem, I know it's difficult but it's for your girlfriend bro.
My queen is really gorgeous
I think make up can only enhanced your appearance but the figure of your nose,pase,skin,and eyes does not change except for his eyelashes what I mean is she can be considered beautiful
Nanase is jealous, so cute
IKUZOOOOOOOOOOOOO YATTTTTAAAAA
Time to go full offense again
Ouch, the “my home” was a low blow.
Boooooooooooo
UWOOOOOOOO
LET’S GOOOO!
Go get him girl!
Nooo
In a sense what Sagara told he was quite a killer line. If you just praise someone for their natural looks, you’re just praising their genes but if you praise them because of their effort, it actually feels genuine.
Heh, looking forward to Volume 2. Thanks mate.
Damn, why do all romance stories do this thing, right when MC and FML have a little conflict, some third party appears to enhance the drama, oof.
Chummy? Man this MC needs to mature, he understands that he needs to communicate but refuses to do the bare minimum. Being unable to contact a group mate is probably one of the most annoying things in college.
Guys lusting for her and her falling in love are 2 completely different thing you know.
Her idea of Rosy life is just an illusion, It’ll only drain her physically and mentally. We all know she’ll just default back to her comfort zone with the MC.
I spent way too much money on this site recently but damn the titles suggest that this novel spans throughout a whole year, nice!
Honestly I’m not a fan of these university debut scenarios. If you’re going to a place like this you really should take a trust-worthy extrovert with you, otherwise you’ll just have an uncomfortable time. Especially if you’re a girl. Suddenly guys are hitting on you and you have no idea what to do…
Plain face is still cute tho. Hoshino me wo Tsubutte
F**** MC is actually just like me fr…
Currently a compsci major but because compsci was part of the economics faculty in my uni, I had to take economics courses in the first year. Had actually more interaction with girls there, well only via Whatsapp chats and mainly them asking me questions… I was probably just used huh…
Anyway, what the MC just did was what I do as well. I could technically speaking ditch the lectures as most of the time I could just do self-study and pass the exam like that or watch the recordings yet I keep attending the lectures. Most people chat between the breaks, meanwhile I either digest what I was just taught or read a quick chapter from a novel that got a new chapter on NU.
I too, love girls in yukatas
Same. Though Cheongsam aren’t too bad either. They knew what they were doing when they added that slit.
I would say Cheongsam give off a more sexy vibe whereas Yukatas are more elegant.
I like how this is progressing so far. You clearly can tell MC has a trauma but he doesn’t cave instantly to pressure and stays consistent with his inner thoughts. FMC can get sometimes pushy with him but she actually has valid reasons to do so since she still feels like a different person than the rest and the MC is a kindred spirit to her. And now that the MC saw her trying her best while other people slack off, he’s going to symphatize and not push her away, slowly letting her inside his thoughts.
His reasoning was kind of contrived considering he did nothing but shut himself off so far but their relationship is pretty interesting. They have similar starting points, yet the FMC is trying to change herself for the better. And now she’ll make him wanna change too.
The flex
Damnnnn
Looks interesting
