I decided to pretend to be a [introverted/gloomy type] by referencing novel titles in order to be popular with girls. ...But somehow, the reactions from those around me are strange.

"It seems that in novels, introverted characters are popular. Those guys casually seduce the most beautiful girls in the grade, and some even create harems." Masataka, the protagonist, recently came across a novel title like this. He immediately decided to put into practice his "Become introverted and get popular strategy." It was all for the sake of being popular (with his crush)! As a first step to show his resolve, he made an announcement to his best friend who he consulted with. "This time, you're going to be shocked...? Because—I'm going to become an 【introvert】 starting now!" "............" His best friend ignored this once-in-a-lifetime declaration and silently flipped the page of the book he was reading. "Hey, I'm asking you. Could you please listen to what I'm saying?" Will his "introvert popularity" strategy succeed...? ※It's not gloomy at all. The protagonist doesn't have introverted qualities. It's a lighthearted story.
