Syundei’s original manga, a romantic comedy, follows Nakamura, a shy boy who clumsily pursues his crush Hirose, despite never having spoken to him.
Nakamura is a shy boy who falls in love at first sight with one of his classmates—his dreamy high school classmate, Hirose. But there’s a problem: they haven’t met yet. And Nakamura is a total klutz who might bungle things before they even begin!
A sequel, Go for It Again, Nakamura!, was released and later published in English. The manga is set to resume this winter on the Comiplex web manga site.
