Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai

Also known as Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible.

Status: Finished
Genres: Comedy , Romance , Slice of Life

First year high schooler Junta Shiraishi is a mob character who goes unnoticed even when he's standing right next to you. But his classmate, "heroine-level beauty" Kubo, always notices him and is there to tease him. Anyone can become special to someone, but it might be a little too early to call these feelings "love." Perhaps this story is still two-steps from being a romantic comedy--let's call it a sweet comedy where a background character becomes visible!



Notes:
Includes 13 extra chapters and the pilot one-shot.
Won 19th place (2020) and 7th place (2021) in the Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Awards in the physical release category.
