The anime stars Haruka Tomatsu (Violet Evergarden) and Kouki Uchiyama (Jujutsu Kaisen) as main characters Kyoko Hori and Izumi Miyamura respectively.

Yen Press, which publishes the manga in English, describes the series as:

At school, Kyouko Hori is known for being smart, attractive, and popular. On the other hand, her classmate, the boring, gloomy Izumi Miyamura 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!
