My Clueless First Friend

Akane Nishimura is a quiet girl whose reserved demeanor and sharp-eyed look lead her classmates to label her as gloomy and hard to like. Branded with the ominous nickname “Grim Reaper,” she becomes an easy target for constant teasing, as rumors spread that she’s cursed and brings bad luck to anyone near her.

Everything shifts when transfer student Taiyou Takada arrives and, captivated by anything supernatural, treats the “Grim Reaper” title as something fascinating rather than frightening. Unaware of the class’s social undercurrent, he reaches out to Akane with straightforward warmth—an optimism that could finally give her the chance to break free from the role everyone has forced on her.
