As far as normies go, it's hard to beat Saku Chitose. The most popular kid in his high school? Check. An ironclad reputation that can even weather vicious online attacks? Check. A group of friends who are as attractive on the outside as they are on the inside? Check. But when a teacher asks Saku to help a student who has been shut away in his room for months reacclimate to school life, his perfect world will never be the same. What is this, some kinda normie harem story?

Hiromu and raemz debuted the original light novel series in June 2019, and the ninth novel volume shipped on August 20.

Bobcat launched the manga adaptation of the novels on Square Enix's Manga UP! website in April 2020, and Square Enix published the manga's seventh compiled book volume on August 19.
