As a second-year high school student, he suffers from an absolute lack of self-esteem, leading him to completely give up on trying to improve himself as a person. Instead, he blames the real world for being completely unbalanced, with no logical way to level up your character.Aoi Hinami is an immensely popular girl in Tomozaki’s class with fantastic grades. She fits the role of a perfect heroine and is on the opposite end of the social spectrum from Tomozaki.
