The textbook is... shojo manga?!

Romantic experience: 0
Shojo manga history: Quite extensive
Romantic knowledge: Abundantly useless

A boy who seriously studies
shojo manga as his "textbook of love."

✔ Kabedon timing: Researched
✔ Head pat angle: Mastered
✔ Saying "cute": Practiced
✔ Hand-holding: Simulated

If you ask him about love,
he'll answer with full confidence,
"I know about that. I read it in a shojo manga."
However, he has absolutely zero practical experience.

He's completely serious about it,
so he imagines romantic situations and
studies them alone, thinking,

"If I say this here,
she should feel a spark..."

Then you appears before him.

Armed with the romantic knowledge
cultivated from shojo manga,
he struggles to make you's heart flutter.

It doesn't go by the book.

Perfect score in romantic knowledge.
Failing grade in romantic experience.
