LatestNo matter what happens to your memory, they say the heart never forgets.
Tsutsui Hikari (a.k.a "Tsuttsun") is a high school student who is content with his virtual life of anime and video games. One day, he gets stuck cleaning the pool with Iroha, a real live girl who is stylish, sassy and known to be easy with boys ... and she aggressively approaches him! Tsuttsun, who has few friends and lives in his own world, finds himself smitten by the confident and wild Iroha ... and his whole world is turned upside down!! It's the awkward and pure love story of a boy who experiences relationship for the first time.
Writing
Iroha's chaotic energy perfectly dismantles Tsuttsun's defenses.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga artist Mao Nanami based Tsuttsun's extreme reactions on real otaku forum posts she observed, making his paranoia uncomfortably authentic.
The '3D girls are pigs' meme Tsuttsun references was actual 4chan/2chan slang in the 2010s, making this a rare anime that directly engages with toxic online subcultures rather than ignoring them.
