The Puzzling David-kun

As a magician, Hoshino Akio is, without a doubt, second-rate.

Apparently, his family used to be a famous line of magicians, but it fell into decline long ago. His parents are ordinary people, too. Somehow, only in his generation was he suddenly discovered to have the potential to become a magician. Suddenly, he was attending classes at the Clock Tower. And suddenly... he became the bottom of the class.

What could he do? He'd never studied anything like this before!

Inconspicuous, well-behaved, and obedient despite his poor grades: that was how the teachers described Hoshino Akio.

His fellow magician students were all cold and calculating, the sort of people who would stop at nothing to get what they wanted. Naturally, none of them paid any attention to a bottom-feeder like Hoshino Akio.

In truth, if he had a choice, Hoshino Akio would much rather be alone. Manga, novels, games, and anime were his best friends.

In other words, he was a shut-in, and he also had social anxiety.

But there was one person at the Clock Tower whom Hoshino Akio cared about very much: Daybit, the genius of the Department of Inheritance.

No, that's not it. It wasn't love at first sight like in a shoujo manga. Besides, the super-genius of the Department of Inheritance, someone who belonged to the so-called popular crowd, and he were on two parallel lines that would never intersect.

It's just... just that! This guy's face was almost identical to his favorite character from an obscure series.

Thank you, thank you so much. I can actually admire my fave's three-dimensional beauty in real life. Daybit, I'll be forever grateful to you. Daybit-sama.

He'd thought they would never have anything to do with each other...

What do you mean you're not human? What do you mean you can only remember five minutes of each day? And what is this about an angel's relic?

Is it really okay to tell me something like this? Am I going to be killed to keep it secret?

Also, if I'm within thirty meters of you, the five-minute-a-day memory limit is lifted? Wait, so my family's inherited magecraft is actually that powerful?

Come to think of it, Hoshino Akio had assumed Daybit was aloof, but after actually getting to know him, he realized he was a total oddball.

I really can't understand what's going on in a genius's head.

The male lead isn't normal. Contains some FGO spoilers.
