ため野矢の: Because of Noya

モノクロ Monochrome

Good afternoon.
I'm Kameko Nakemura.
This year, I'll be transferring to Karasuno High.
To be honest, as an introduction, this was the best I could think of.
Adequate, isn't it?
That's basically what makes up my entire existence.
From the day I was born, my parents expected me to be something great. Due to this, they decided to name me "Kameko", which is translated as "superior child". Long story short, the name is a complete joke in my case. I was never one to stand out.
I had a plain-looking face and body, along with a blank personality that longed to be filled with color. Nobody around me knew this at first glance though. For some odd reason, I gave off an opposite aura of superiority (ironic, isn't it?), friendliness, life. This drew people to me, which is hardly what I think I wanted. When they try to spark a conversation, I dull it down with monotone comments. I never get jokes or teasing, instead I've been quietly stoic and....boring. When people learned this about me, teachers or children, it instantly drew them away. Relationships withered and died as quickly as night and day. Was I ever affected emotionally? I think not. Because it was a daily occurrence, I never really found it surprising. I wasn't sad, frustrated, happy, anything. This manner has continued on for so long, even my parents who supported me to do my best gave up the idea. Since I was an only child, they had nobody else to support or raise to exceed. So, in general terms.
I'm a nobody.
No personality
No special characteristics
No talents
No friends
No hobbies
Honestly, if I were in an anime, I would definitely be the white background character the animators were too lazy to draw and give life to.

But. This story is about how that changed. I can't tell you exactly, word for word, what happens. This is because of the obvious fact I haven't even gotten started on how, why, when, all those important questions. But I can guarantee, even for my monochrome self who has interest in absolutely nothing, it's a bit enticing.
