Story
The anime focuses on Gouda Takao, a kind-hearted high school student. Unlike typical high schoolers, our protagonist stands out due to his muscular build and tough appearance, which draws attention and leads people to judge him based on preconceptions. However, contrary to what his looks suggest, he possesses a heart of gold and displays remarkable courage. This personality earns him respect and intense affection among his friends, but there is one problem: all of these friends are male, and Takeo has no female friends whatsoever. Every girl who shows interest in him ends up being interested in Makoto Sunakawa, Takeo's childhood best friend and an extremely popular figure. One day, while Takeo and Sunakawa are walking home from school, they notice a girl from another school being harassed. The moment Takeo sees this, he rescues the girl from her harasser and falls in love with her at first sight. Yet, he suspects she might be interested in Sunakawa instead. But is Rinko Yamato, who is quite cute, really as everyone assumes?
