Sukitte Ii na yo.

Mei Tachibana avoids friendships after being betrayed in elementary school, believing they only bring pain. Her self-imposed isolation is disrupted when she accidentally kicks Yamato Kurosawa, a popular student, who is unfazed by the incident. Instead of anger, he sees her as a refreshing change and insists on forming a connection. Despite Mei's resistance, the two begin a reluctant friendship that gradually alters their perspectives and lives.
