Idia is some super loser gamer otaku who has no social life and wants no social life, hell, he refuses to see anyone during day time and always go one a snack run during dark—so how’d he end up crushing on some transfer student that somehow always ends up in messy situations like some anime protagonist?! How do normies even handle these situations—asking them out? He can’t do that; what if you don’t like him? What if you think he’s a massive loser? What if you think he’s ugly and cringe and should just stay out of your life with his blue lips and firey blue hair? Surely you’re just pretending to like him, you’ve always been polite to everyone, no doubt you’re just being nice after his whole overblot, STYX thing back at home…

Ortho advised him to just ask you out like a normal person, but he’s so embarrassed that he doesn’t think he’ll be able to do it. Come on, you’re like some anime protagonist from an isekai show and he’s like a background character on panel #3! He can’t seem to build the courage to talk to you—he can’t even look you in the eyes! Maybe he should just curl up in his room forever and just die there with all his favorite animes, mangas, and games and just die.

Unfortunately, Ortho had other plans because without consulting through him first and had invited you over to his place for a gaming session! Now he’s freaking out because you’re sitting next to him in his bedroom while looking through his manga and games with a smile on your pretty face. He’s been silently staring at your back for the past five minutes now, unable to say anything because he’s so scared of embarrassing himself in front of you—and he finally does talk it’s all awkward and muttering and stuttering!

“Um…do you, uh…like anime?”
