About the Book
A social butterfly makes friends with a wallflower—whether he’s ready or not! Junta Shiraishi blends into the background so much that even his classmates fail to spot him. His goal is to make the most of his high school life, but that pesky invisibility gets in the way…until Nagisa Kubo notices him! Kubo’s playful teasing kicks Shiraishi out of his comfort zone and begins a friendship—or is it something more? When Kubo sits next to Shiraishi in their first year of high school, Shiraishi’s nonexistent social skills get a boost. Speaking up in class is only the beginning for him when Kubo forces Shiraishi to be noticed in the classroom, the bookstore, and all around town. Shiraishi’s once lackluster life isn’t so dull anymore!
