Inside a nearly empty classroom, a girl with long black hair and glasses was reading an illustrated book… In fact, upon closer inspection, this book was a comic book, not a typical one, but one written and illustrated in Japan, without colors, a manga.
That girl loved reading manga and watching anime, long before it became mainstream and widely enjoyed. Back then, reading manga or watching anime was often frowned upon. People usually laughed at you for it.
That was life, how things were, and so the girl became quite the outcast in the classroom. She had a quirky personality, perhaps too quirky for her own good.
She was usually lonely, and although she had made some friends in her early school years, they gradually drifted away, preferring to align with more popular girls.
She was left mostly alone, always suspecting they were laughing at her behind her back, which made her slightly paranoid.
