Muchuu sa, Kimi ni.

Also known as Captivated, By You.

Status: Finished
Genres: Comedy , Slice of Life

Hayashi’s frank, guileless demeanor quietly draws the attention of classmates and strangers as he counts all the stairs in school, photographs street signs, and dries sweet potatoes on the classroom balcony. In a world shaped by conformity, Hayashi is refreshingly and unapologetically true to himself. Conversely, Nikaidou has worked very hard to perfect a gloomy, dour façade that keeps his classmates far, far away. While much of the school regards Nikaidou as a bad omen, one student catches a glimpse behind the mask and—undeterred by rumors of bad luck and supernatural powers—begins to pick away Nikaidou’s carefully crafted persona…

Notes:
Originally released at COMITIA 127, was then licensed by Kadokawa for commercial release.
Winner of the Short Work Prize category of the 24th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize (2020).
