My Little Monster

## My Little Monster A coldly studious girl who scorns friendship is drawn to a volatile, brilliant delinquent who decides she's his first friend, forcing both to fumble toward connection. Shizuku Mizutani cares about nothing but grades, dismissing friendship as a distraction, until she is sent to deliver homework to Haru Yoshida, a feared classmate who stopped attending after a fight on his first day. Brilliant but socially clueless and prone to sudden violence, Haru latches onto Shizuku as his first-ever friend and bluntly declares his love. Their relationship lurches forward in fits and starts as two people with no experience of closeness clumsily learn to trust, misread signals, and care for others. Warm and funny, the series captures the awkward, halting process of opening yourself to people when you've spent your life shut off.
