Higashi no Kurume to Tonari no Meguru

Kousuke leads an uneventful high school life until he finds himself seated beside Tsukahara Meguru, a popular and attractive classmate known for her calm and reserved demeanor. When his family announces they are moving, they reassure him he can continue attending the same school. The new apartment features a scenic river and welcoming neighbors, and surprisingly, is located just next door to Tsukahara’s home. Outside school, she appears more approachable and slightly eccentric. She asks him to keep her home behavior a secret from their classmates, raising the question of why she presents such a different side at school.
