Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible

Junta Shiraishi has a problem: he's so utterly average, so astonishingly unnoticeable, that even his classmates and teachers rarely realize he's there. He's a true "mob character" in the grand drama of high school life, and he's perfectly content with his background existence. Or he was, until Nagisa Kubo enters the picture. Kubo, a beautiful and popular classmate, seems to be the only one who can consistently spot Junta in a crowd. Amused by his incredible ability to blend in, she makes it her personal mission to ensure he isn't quite so invisible anymore, playfully inserting him into situations and highlighting his presence. This charming, episodic tale explores the gentle, heartwarming comedy of an unlikely duo as one seeks to disappear and the other insists on bringing him into the light.
