Ao Haru Ride
Synopsis: While most girls strive to show their female charms, Futaba Yoshioka deliberately behaves as if she wanted to repel anyone who may be attracted to her. Ostracized by her classmates in high school because she is a little too popular with the boys, she strives desperately to avoid a similar situation in high school, being unnecessarily noisy and bland.
However, scattered among Futaba's unpleasant memories are the precious moments with the boy she had a fall, Kou Tanaka. Unfortunately, this spell ended abruptly in a sour grade when he suddenly stopped attending school and never returned. When Futaba discovers that Kou came back - with a different surname this time - she can already feel the butterflies in the stomach. However, Kou Mabuchi is not the hot boy who remembers his days in high school; He is now higher, more charismatic and withdrawn - doing so much less affordable.
Futaba believes that if she returns to her old self, Kou will begin to realize her again. But is she prepared to sacrifice her normality bubble and risk losing her friends in the process?
