"At school, Hori Kyouko is known for being smart, attractive, and popular. On the other hand, her classmate, the boring, gloomy Miyamura Izumi tends to get painted as a "loser fanboy." But when a liberally pierced and tattooed (not to mention downright gorgeous) Miyamura appears unexpectedly on the doorstep of secretly plain-Jane homebody Hori, these two similarly dissimilar teenagers discover that there are multiple sides to every story...and person!

Better late than never. This was a real treat. Going by the boiler-plate premise, I wasn't really that excited to give this one a go, but once you start watching... well, it becomes endearing very quickly. Most romance anime have conditioned me to expect just the slightest progress as a reward for finishing a season or series, but here it is on quite a steady clip. None of the characters, even when caught in 'misunderstandings' or other hijinks, comes off as annoying, and even the less pronounced characters add charm and texture to this low-key tale. Highly recommended.
