Kageno datte Seishun Shitai

Kageno is a quiet, bespectacled first-year high school student who feels invisible. She watches others live vibrant teenage lives while she remains unnoticed, longing for a taste of youth.

Then there’s Mitsunaga Youta—the school’s heartthrob, adored by everyone. Despite countless confessions, he remains uninterested in romance. Unexpectedly, he proposes a deal to Kageno: pretend to be his girlfriend for a month to deter admirers, and in return, he’ll befriend her.

Now, Kageno must navigate the chaos of sudden popularity, jealous classmates, and the pressure of keeping up appearances. What begins as a fake relationship might just turn into something real.

This quirky rom-com follows an unlikely pair—the gloomy loner and the untouchable prince—as they discover love in the most unexpected way. Will Kageno survive the whirlwind of attention, or will she crumble under the spotlight? Only time will tell.
