    What do a geeky boy and a trendy girl have in common? More than they think!Teased for his nerdy hobbies in middle school, Koichi Otakura has entered high school with every intention of blending into the background. But when Yua Narumi, the popular girl who sits behind him in class, discovers his hidden talents, she begs him to help her keep up with the latest fashion trends! After all, aren’t the skills required to draw fan art and paint plastic models totally applicable to designing nails and styling hair? Who says otakus and gals can’t get along?!

  2. Otaku X Gal 02

    What do a geeky boy and a trendy girl have in common? More than they think!At first glance, classmates Koichi Otakura and Yua Narumi seemed like polar opposites. But after chilling together outside of school, they’ve gotten remarkably close in a short amount of time! Joined by Narumi’s friend Ruriko Himeno, they continue to have fun over the weekends and uncover new sides of each other. Turns out Otakura is surprisingly good at coordinating outfits, singing karaoke, and…building muscle? Guess you really can’t judge a book by its cover!
