Yuu Usami is a normal second-year high school student. He lives a quiet and ordinary life, without anything too exciting happening. But one day, that all changes when he runs into a tall girl with a serious and scary look on her face. She’s staring right at him, and Yuu doesn’t know why. It feels like she’s glaring at him — and it makes him nervous!
That girl is Hitomi Takano, a classmate with a tough appearance. She’s much taller than most of the students and always seems to be frowning. Many people think she’s angry or mean because of her scary looks and quiet nature. Because of this, most students try to avoid her, and she doesn’t have many friends.
At first, Yuu also feels nervous around Hitomi. But as fate would have it, they keep running into each other. Whether it’s in the hallway, at lunch, or walking home, their paths keep crossing. Slowly, Yuu begins to realize something surprising—Hitomi isn’t glaring at him in anger. She’s just shy and awkward. In fact, the more Yuu talks to her, the more he sees a completely different side of her.
Hitomi-chan Is Shy With Strangers Plot
Behind her scary appearance, Hitomi is actually very kind. She loves cute things, is gentle with animals, and even helps others when no one is watching. She’s just not very good at expressing herself, and her strong features often give people the wrong idea. Yuu starts to feel a connection with her and wants to understand her more.
As time goes on, Yuu and Hitomi begin spending more time together. They talk after school, eat snacks, and even laugh at silly things. Their friendship slowly grows, and people around them begin to notice a change in Hitomi too. She starts smiling more and opens up, even if just a little at a time.
This story is a heartwarming slice-of-life comedy about looking beyond appearances and learning to understand others. Yuu never expected that the scariest-looking girl in school would become one of the kindest people he knows. And Hitomi, who had always kept to herself, finds someone who truly sees her for who she is.
Their days together are filled with small, happy moments, misunderstandings, and gentle laughter. In this quiet but sweet story, two very different students form a bond that changes their lives little by little.
