Synopsis
Akira attempts to court the dense Hajime through various schemes, unaware he likes her back while remaining oblivious to her feelings.
Highlights of Akira's carefully orchestrated strategy to court Hajime include covering his eyes with her hands, tricking him into saying her name, and making his heart race. But she might have better luck impressing him with her academic and athletic prowess. Or not. Because he's too dense to figure out she likes him. And she's too dense to figure out he likes her back!
