Aharen-san wa Hakarenai

Raido navigue l'amitié au lycée avec Reina Aharen malgré ses défis spatiaux uniques.

Raido begins his first year of high school. Due to possessing a naturally unfriendly face, he struggles to fit in and tries to become friends with Reina Aharen who sits beside him in class. He is baffled when she either ignores him or speaks too softly to be heard. Aharen drops her eraser which he picks up for her, after which she becomes extremely close to him. Raido asks for an explanation of her behavior so she reveals she has a warped sense of distance that makes it difficult to judge when she is invading someone’s personal space. When she stands too close she seems clingy, and when she stands too far away she appears antisocial, so she struggles to make friends. Initially, Raido struggles to hear when she speaks but eventually finds that he is able to hear her as practice makes him more sensitive to small noises. At an arcade, Aharen’s warped sense of distance makes her an expert on claw machines as she wins multiple stuffed toys and gives most of them to Raido who tagged along, keeping only one for herself. As time passes Aharen increasingly invades Raido’s personal space, including sitting on his lap and falling asleep on him. Their odd relationship is observed by another female student who appears angry. (Source: Wikipedia, edited)

Raido aide Aharen avec des gouttes pour les yeux pendant que son ami d'enfance Mitsuki Oshiro les observe en secret.

Aharen has something in her eye so Raido administers eye drops. Aharen claims having him close to her face is embarrassing, confusing Raido as she often comes closer on her own. Raido senses someone spying on him, so Aharen makes him feel better with a hug. The spy is Aharen’s childhood friend Mitsuki Oshiro, a tall, nervous girl who cries a lot and doesn’t trust boys. She declares she will protect Aharen, but from a distance to avoid Raido. Aharen tries to communicate to Raido that his zipper is exposing his underwear, but when he doesn’t understand she spends all day concealing his lower body from everyone. Raido doesn’t realize until after he gets home. Oshiro notices Aharen hasn’t gone home and suspects she doesn’t have an umbrella, tries to covertly give Aharen her own but is caught. She and Aharen share an umbrella, but due to their height difference, Aharen still gets wet. She thanks Oshiro anyway, pointing out she knows Oshiro follows her and Raido home every day but isn’t good at hiding. The next day Oshiro watches Aharen from even further away from using binoculars. Raido challenges Aharen to Reversi at which he is a master. He realizes with her unusual vision Aharen is actually a Reversi master even better than him and cheats their game into a draw.

Aharen et Raido naviguent entre les changements de place et les mésaventures liées aux soins personnels

Aharen comes to school with a bedhead. Oshiro’s family owns a hair salon so she is able to give Aharen a haircut. She also cuts Raido’s hair despite being tempted to shave him bald. Aharen is suffering from dry lips so Raido attempts to apply lip balm but messes up. Oshiro steps in again with makeup and a skin massage. Aharen later reveals she is stressed due to the growth spurt of the boy who sits in front of her, so now she can’t see the chalkboard. Raido attempts several increasingly ludicrous methods of helping but eventually just moves her desk closer to his own. A seat change is announced meaning Raido and Aharen might no longer be sitting next to each other. Deciding to do something nice for her Raido tries to help her win at baseball, then cooks for her which she eats despite it being terrible. He also helps her record them dancing together, believing she wants to be a U-Tube idol, though it turns out it was a class project and the video is a U-Tube failure. On seat moving day Aharen hugs Raido to say goodbye, only to not move anywhere as by chance they are reassigned their original seats beside each other. (Source: Wikipedia, edited)
