A Glimpse into the Story: Synopsis
The story of “Kakunaru Ue wa” introduces us to Yuuki Uehara, a high schooler who’s a bit of a dweeb, yet he dreams of creating the ultimate romantic comedy heroine—bashful, airheaded, and utterly innocent. However, his dreams are crushed when an editor from his ideal publisher dismisses his manga as cliché and lacking realism. This harsh feedback sends Uehara spiraling, leading him straight into the path of Niina Miyamoto, his bubbly and gorgeous classmate, who also happens to be an aspiring manga artist.
Having received similar blunt feedback on her own work, Miyamoto proposes an unconventional solution: since neither of them has any real romantic experience, they should embark on a fake relationship! But Miyamoto is far from the picture-perfect heroine Uehara has conjured in his mind, and he certainly isn’t the confident hero from her own narratives. Can their wonderfully wacky, faux romance inspire their manga creations and turn their artistic dreams into reality, or will it only lead to a string of even more comical disasters?
