Summary
Kanoko Naedoko has one hobby a student doesn't normally have, observing others in the wild. How? Her notebook is her best friend. After leaving the first 10 pages clean for safety reasons, she would then write her daily log on classmates she finds interesting. First target lock-on: the school's most popular people love triangle! Tsubaki-Hanai-Natsukusa. Just as she gets engrossed in her lab bunnies, Kanoko who proclaims to be a loner starts to interact with her targets and builds a brand-new relationship we normally call friendship (which she never thought of having). But her “stalking” isn't quite done yet. There are still drama queens, wannabes, narcissists and other interesting classmates ready to fill her notebook. And it seems observing just one school-worth isn't enough? Plus Tsubaki has millions of reasons to show up wherever Kanoko is at?
