Synopsis

[edit]

Hana Uzaki is thrilled to discover that she is attending the same college as her fellow high school upperclassman, Shinichi Sakurai. However, after a year of watching him just laze around, she comes to the conclusion that he has turned into a loner. She decides to spend as much time with Shinichi as possible, believing that he is an introvert or intimidating, considering him uncool and unacceptable. With the intention to expose Shinichi to a more fun lifestyle, Hana closely follows him like a persistent presence, creating conflicts between Shinichi's desire to spend time alone and Hana's enthusiastic and outgoing personality.

While drinking with Ami and Sakaki, Hana tells them how Shinichi helped her with swimming training in high school. Meanwhile, Shinichi's father gives him relationship advice while they spar. Worried about how to handle his relationship with Hana, he asks advice from the men at the café and finally realizes he cares about and enjoys hanging out with her. Happy at having sorted his feelings out, Shinichi looks forward to express his gratitude to Hana and they happen to meet. Before he can utter a word, however, she offers to spend Christmas with him, but she does it in a way that gets her banished from his apartment and pleading at his door.

To stir things up and make Hana jealous and reconcile with Shinichi, Yanagi shows up at the café and asks him to spend Christmas with her at his place. Unaware that her overprotective father, Fujio, knows Shinichi from the gym, Hana invites him to the Uzaki's home. Once he arrives there, things become awkward, mostly for Fujio. Meanwhile, Kiri is having a miserable time at karaoke with his friends. Later, Shinichi gets drunk and becomes candidly talkative, much to Hana's delight.

Other media

[edit]

The Japanese Red Cross has used Hana's image to promote blood donation campaigns in 2019 and 2020, with the manga's creator Take also donating blood.[77]

Reception

[edit]

The manga series ranked on the top 20 web manga list at Da Vinci Magazine and Niconico's Next Manga Awards in 2018.[78]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The "Sugoi Dekai" on her shirt is a Japanese joke. The phrase is used equivalently to the English "awesome", "fantastic", or "great", but it has the literal meaning "so big".
  2. ^ David Matranga filled in for Fajardo as Shinichi in episode 13.[5]
  3. ^ The ω in the title is pronounced as "double".[12]
  4. ^ All English titles are taken from Funimation.
  5. ^ All English titles are taken from Crunchyroll.
