How to Win Over a Girl in a Shoujo Manga

Hi, everyone! My name is Taoze Jiaojiao, and I'm the heroine of a shojo manga!

After saying goodbye to Sawada, the underclassman she'd bumped into at the corner, she hurried back to school. That was close, she almost arrived late! Today was the first day of school after moving up to her second year.

And Tomioka, the handsome upperclassman on gate duty, looked as dashing as ever.

When she reached the classroom, Taoze Jiaojiao made her way past all sorts of classmates and took the window seat in the second-to-last row. After all, that was the seat reserved for the protagonist.

Her deskmate, Kageyama, was dozing off again. The English teacher was definitely going to make him stand as punishment in a minute...

The boy sitting behind her, Itadori, hadn't done his math homework again. Well, she was a kindhearted heroine, so she would magnanimously let him copy it once more.

The weather was lovely, so PE was being held outdoors. The older students, Chuuya and Dazai, were fighting again. Wouldn't the school punish them for that?

Taoze Jiaojiao's little head was full of big questions.

She couldn't make it to cooking club today. She was a little sad that she wouldn't get to see underclassman @#%, since she'd already promised to meet upperclassman %@* today~

That was the perfect day in the life of Taoze Jiaojiao, heroine of a shojo manga!

"Do you have a moment to talk, Taoze?"

Taoze Jiaojiao looked up and saw Dazai Osamu standing at the school gate, apparently waiting for her on purpose.

Could he be trying to start a special after-school event?

How cunning of him...

But Taoze Jiaojiao liked it when people worked hard to win her over. After all, she was the heroine of the world, and he might become her male lead.

"What is it, Dazai-senpai?" Taoze Jiaojiao wore her trademark smile, flawless as always.

"Taoze, do you know what 'male lead' means?"

"Male lead? Like the male lead in a movie?"

Taoze Jiaojiao kept up that same perfect smile.

"Then do you have any idea about winning you over so we can leave this world?"

"..." Taoze Jiaojiao didn't answer. She stayed silent for a long while before speaking, as if she'd frozen up. "What did you just say, Dazai-senpai?"

"You don't actually like anyone, do you? You just want to keep everyone here." Dazai Osamu sounded certain, with a hint of casual indifference.

He'd gone so far that Taoze Jiaojiao had no reason to keep hiding it. Her gentle smile vanished, leaving only amusement.

"Hahaha, how did you figure it out, Dazai Osamu?"

Hi, everyone! My name is Taoze Jiaojiao, and I'm the heroine of a shojo manga!

Lately, I've been wondering where my male lead is. It's so frustrating. Everyone's wonderful, of course, but I'm the heroine, the center of the world. Everyone should revolve around me and exist for my sake, shouldn't they?

My world needs more people, more and more...
