Tomohiko Suzuki, a quiet typical average mc, a high school student whose gaze lingers a second too long on Ruka Ayase, the kind of popular girl who seems to exist in a different orbit. He’s not the protagonist type. But love (or crush-induced mania) makes fools of us all.
Suzuki’s grand strategy? A hairstyle change. The result? Classmates mock him. Brutal, but realistic. However, fate has a twisted sense of humor. His bold (if tragic) new look catches the attention of the school’s top-tier gals. They find him amusing, christen him with the bizarre nickname “Chomu,” and suddenly, Suzuki, no, Chomu, is orbiting Ayase’s friend group.
He works at it. Day by day, small conversations. The slow, aching work of trying to be seen.
Then comes the moment. Walking home, Ayase herself stops him. “Chom, you free? Come over. Tell me funny stories.” His heart is a caged bird slamming against its ribs. He goes. They talk. She leans in, eyes curious, and asks, “Hey, Chomu… do you have a girlfriend?”
This is it. The confession. The every dude’s fantasy.
He swallows, opens his mouth…
And then Ayase, with a playful, breathy laugh, leans closer and whispers: “Sure, show me your dick. I’ll jerk you off.”
…Excuse me?
