Saeki-San wa Nemutteru

Saeki-san is always dozing off in class, employing various clever strategies to catch some sleep unnoticed. The boy seated beside her, Tokimiya, can’t help but notice her creative methods. As he watches her antics, his curiosity slowly turns into something more.

At first, it’s just amusement—how she props her head on her hand, pretending to take notes while actually napping. Then, she switches tactics, using textbooks as makeshift pillows or hiding behind her long hair. Each time, Tokimiya finds himself paying closer attention, his fascination growing.

Before he realizes it, his focus shifts from her sleeping habits to Saeki herself. There’s something oddly charming about her determination to rest despite the teacher’s lectures. Her peaceful expression when she finally drifts off makes him smile.

Meanwhile, Saeki remains blissfully unaware of his observations, solely focused on her mission—getting through the school day with as much sleep as possible. Between her inventive napping techniques and Tokimiya’s growing interest, their classroom dynamic becomes quietly intriguing.

What starts as simple curiosity soon evolves into something deeper, though neither of them acknowledges it. For now, it’s just a sleepy girl and the boy who can’t look away.
