Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible

Junta Shiraishi wants nothing more than to have a normal, enjoyable high school life, but he has a problem: he’s so unnoticeable that classmates—and even teachers—regularly overlook him. His near-invisibility becomes a running rumor, with talk that anyone who manages to spot him is in for a streak of good luck.

Nagisa Kubo, the girl seated beside him, is the one exception. She never misses him, and she refuses to let him blend into the background, often drawing him into awkward little moments of her own making. As Kubo’s teasing attention continues, Shiraishi’s quiet days begin to shift, hinting at the kind of youth he’s been hoping to experience.
