Murai In Love

When high schooler Murai confesses his love to his teacher, Tanaka, he’s met with an immediate rejection. Tanaka, an otaku with a deep love for an otome game character named Hitotose, tells Murai she’s only interested in fictional men. Undeterred, Murai returns the next day with a shocking transformation, having completely restyled himself to look exactly like Tanaka’s beloved 2D crush. What follows is an uproarious and surprisingly heartwarming tale of persistence, mistaken identity, and the blurring lines between fantasy and reality. As Murai dedicates himself to winning Tanaka's affection, he inadvertently pulls her into a series of comedic misunderstandings and genuine introspection about her own desires. Can a real-life doppelganger ever truly compete with the ideal of a fictional heartthrob?
