Kusuo's Daily Life at Inarizaki

[Daily updates, schedule uncertain.] Blurb: As the manager of the boys' volleyball team at Inarizaki High School in Hyogo Prefecture, Nanako has to deal every day with the Miya twins' squabbles and Suna's collection of embarrassing photos. It's a bit of a headache. She'd wanted to be a low-key high school student, far from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, but troublemakers seem to be mass-produced. There are plenty in Tokyo, and Hyogo Prefecture has its share too. "Nanako, this time it was Samu's fault." "I can't believe you're trying to blame him first." Caught between the two, Nanako listened to them and felt utterly speechless. So noisy. And were they showing off how tall they were? "Click!" At the sound of a camera, Nanako looked over. Suna waved at her. What a pain. Nanako had no idea the trouble was only just beginning. Just to get a coupon for coffee jelly, she accidentally became a "die-hard fan" of Kise, the coffee jelly spokesperson; She rode her bike too fast and nearly got asked for tips by cyclists from another school; What a tiring life. She was better off managing Inarizaki's boys' volleyball team.

Coming soon: "The Obsessive Male Supporting Character Wants to Fall in Love Too" [Let me taste the bitterness of love (serious face)] Blurb: When I was about to head to the secret base, a livestream System suddenly bound itself to me and spoiled countless details. Judging by the comments, I seem to be the obsessive male supporting character in a novel set at an aristocratic academy. Because I like the same top student as the male lead, I pursue that student obsessively, fail, and eventually leave the country in dejection. The comments tell me not to compete with the male lead and not to go to the secret base just yet, or I'll run into the special top student and decide they're someone extraordinary. But I insist on going to the secret base, because life feels boring and I need a little excitement. I really want an experience that can stir up my emotions. I want to taste the bitterness of love. But when I arrive at the secret base, full of anticipation, I don't meet any special top student. Instead, I run into my archenemy. This archenemy is the male lead the comments mentioned, and the one responsible for giving me a black eye. I'm annoyed. What happened to the top student? The comments are a little shocked too, but they don't give up. Next, they tell me about several places where I might meet the top student. But I still don't catch so much as a glimpse of one. My archenemy, a pair of devilish twins, my lazy childhood friend... I keep running into all these familiar faces instead. They're nothing but obstacles to my one-sided love experience! "You're not messing with me, are you?" [How could we possibly lie to you!!!] "Then why haven't I met someone who makes me fall obsessively in love?" [...] Unable to experience the bitterness of love, I feel terribly dejected. "I really want to have a hopeless romance." When my archenemy hears me say that, he calls me crazy for wanting to torment myself. He suggests that I date him instead, promising it'll end happily; The devilish twins open their arms to me and say I can date them; My lazy childhood friend sends me a dating application too; I'm stunned. This isn't how it's supposed to go! The people in the livestream are shocked too. Could the story they'd been watching all along have been fake?
