The Oblivious Girl and the Maidenly Man Vol. 1

A heartwarming romance about one very oblivious woman and the man who loves her dearly!

Rintaro is a soft-spoken, maidenly café owner who has a secret crush on Luna, one of his regular customers. One day, Luna confides in him that she has a deep fear of men—and asks for his help in getting used to them.

Desperately hiding his feelings, Rintaro agrees to help with her “rehabilitation.” Holding hands, going out together, exchanging gifts—none of it bothers Luna at all. She laughs it off, at ease around him in a way she isn’t with other men, completely unaware how much she makes Rintaro’s heart race more every day.

As Luna grows more relaxed and increasingly close to him, Rintaro struggles to keep his feelings in check. Where will this uneven, slow-burn relationship lead?
