Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

My Little Monster

A tender story about two people convinced they're incapable of connection who end up revealing their true selves to each other. It's high school romance done with genuine warmth, stripped of unnecessary melodrama.

Standoffish, reclusive Shizuku Mizutani cares far more about earning stellar grades than cultivating friendships. But her opinions on friendship and relationships begin to change when she meets habitual truant Haru Yoshida, who happens to have a rather fearsome reputation. Like Shizuku, Haru’s reputation has made it difficult to make friends. And yet through their budding friendship and stirrings of attraction the unlikely pair learns to understand one another, the world around them, and the tenor of their own emotions.
