Shiroyama to Mita-san

Tatsuhiko Shiroyama dislikes living in a remote area. He finds interactions with others awkward, struggles to find part-time work, and is mocked by classmates for his forced smiles, earning him the nickname "Niyayama." He listens to the radio to escape and dreams of moving to Tokyo to pursue his interests. His life shifts when he rescues a wealthy CEO from a rice field and is paired with the CEO's granddaughter, Tamiko Mita, who is similarly reserved and socially awkward. The two navigate the complexities of a relationship, gradually brightening Tatsuhiko's previously bleak routine.
