31 parts Complete Shouta Kuzumiya is shy and aloof. When he was a child, he never liked to participate and he never liked to deal with people. Now, seventeen years old and moving through high school unnoticed and practically invisible, Shouta wishes more than anything to be noticed by the girl who doesn't even know he's there. Before high school ends, Shouta is determined to ask her out, but in his current situation it seems like it would never happen. That is, until, he meets an unlikely instructor...
One day Shouta comes across a tanuki in the woods where he goes to think, but the strange thing is that this tanuki can talk to him, and it wants to help him win over his girl. Denying it at first, Shouta decides to take the tanuki's advice, and along the way, learn about who he is.

*Note: I have been studying Japanese for about three years, and for as much Japanese as I know - I did not get very deep into all of the kanji and am hoping that the kanji on the cover and in the story are correct. Since this story is based on real life, I would need it to be proofed by others to make sure everything is accurate and correct if I am ever to get it published, but I have decided to upload it here for critique and opinions. This is my first ever written slice-of-life type story that was not really full of action packed scenes and fantasy monsters so it was an interesting adventure. I hope you enjoy it - I am open to any suggestions or corrections.
