An OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Koga falls in LoveAtFirstSight with a(n apparent) CuteBookworm Iori Orikawa. The only problem is that he only reads gag manga and erotic comedies, and thus can't hope to impress her in a discussion about books. After his attempt to get into a library committee with Orikawa (to spend more time with her) backfires on him, he turns to his classmate, a loner {{Bookworm}} Moriya, for some book recommendations in order to have something to talk about with Orikawa.
The manga is serialized on [[http://sai-zen-sen.jp/comics/twi4/bungakushoujo/ Sai-Zen-Sen's website]].

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Invoked in-universe. While looking for a book he could recommend to Koga, Moriya runs across a book of dating tips, which subscribes to this viewpoint. Moriya himself seems to be sceptical, though.
* BromanticFoil: Koga's classmate Taoka, a somewhat perverted guy who wants to be friends with Koga (much to the latter's chagrin) and apparently spends his spare time gathering information on his schoolmates and making a list of the school's hottest girls, which he offers to share with Koga.
