Junta may be a living NPC, but Kubo’s dare just turned him into the momentary main character! But if he’s the hero, what does that make her?

Kubo wants to stop by Junta’s house and borrow a manga volume. That’s definitely the only reason she wants to know where he lives. No other reason at all…

Junta knows he's invisible to others, so no one will notice if he peeks at a certain magazine, right? Unfortunately, the store clerk can see him just as easily as Kubo can.

It’s Valentine’s Day for his classmates, but an ordinary Monday for Junta. Except someone left sweets at his desk. It must have been an accident; it’s the only explanation!

A question from a friend causes Kubo to realize something: what does she know about Junta, anyway?

Another person notices Junta's presence, and Junta slowly feels like a main character.

They all may be in separate classes next year, so it’s important to spend time with each other now while they still can. And that means umbrella experiments and sleepovers.

As the cherry blossoms bloom, Kubo and her sisters plan a picnic. They invite Junta and his little brother, but there are a few hiccups along the way.

Junta doesn’t foresee any changes during the new school year, especially since he and Kubo are in the same class again. There is one difference, though: a potential new friend.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make one look forward to tomorrow.

Junta’s simple plan to see a movie turns into something more when Kubo invites herself along.

In what ways has Junta’s life changed for the better? Regardless of the answer, it’s all thanks to Kubo.
