Tomoko Kuroki always believed high school would be her time to shine. After all, she had spent hours mastering dating simulation games, building relationships with virtual characters, and learning what she thought were the perfect ways to be charming and popular. In the game world, she was confident, cool, and well-loved.
But reality turned out to be very different.
As soon as Tomoko entered high school, she quickly realized that real-life socializing was much harder than in any game. The conversations didn’t follow a script, people didn’t react the way she expected, and no one seemed to notice her at all. Instead of being the center of attention, Tomoko found herself alone, awkward, and nervous.
She wanted to make friends and impress her classmates, but talking to them felt nearly impossible. Whenever she tried to speak, her words got stuck, her voice became small, and her mind raced with panic. Even simple greetings were a challenge. The confidence she had in games disappeared the moment she faced real people.
It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Plot
Despite these struggles, Tomoko didn’t give up. She came up with strange and funny plans to become popular—changing her look, practicing in front of the mirror, and copying what she saw on TV or online. But things never went as planned. Most of the time, her efforts just made her feel even more out of place.
Still, deep inside, Tomoko hoped things would get better. She wanted someone to understand her, to see beyond the awkwardness and notice the kind girl trying her best. Her journey wasn’t just about fitting in—it was about learning how to be herself and finding the courage to open up to others.
Tomoko’s story is both funny and touching. It shows the reality of growing up, facing social anxiety, and feeling like you don’t belong. But it also shows that it’s okay to struggle, and that finding your place takes time.
Through embarrassing moments, small victories, and slow steps forward, Tomoko begins to understand that real life isn’t like a dating sim—it’s much messier, but also more meaningful.
