Involving *Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend*, *Oregairu*, *Kaguya-sama: Love is War*, *The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten*, and more—but not a self-insert fanfic.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, Yukinoshita Yukino, Shinomiya Kaguya, Shiina Mahiru...

When these once-fantasy "waifus" suddenly appear before you in real life, could you resist the excitement in your heart and keep your distance?

No matter what others might do, Natsukawa Kanade certainly can't suppress his impulses.

And so, he takes the initiative—only to face defeat. He regroups—only to fail again. Again and again...

No matter what strategy he tries, no matter how many targets he switches to, it just doesn't work.

That's when Natsukawa Kanade finally realizes—these idealized versions of them never truly existed in the first place.

Since that's the case, maybe it's time for him to just be himself again...

—In short, this is a story about an "ordinary person" stepping into the world of anime.

Requester's thoughts - A suprisingly wholesome book about a guy who, to impress a waifu trys to imitate their perceived ideal guy but gets rejected. Finally he gets tired and decides to be himself... and then those waifus are attracted to him.

At the end of summer, during a lunch break, I swapped bodies with a stranger from a parallel universe. My name is Zuo Yu, a senior high school student enjoying the typical high school life of going out five days and returning eleven, living a colorful youth amidst the stark contrast of exam papers. The person I swapped bodies with is Yukino Yukinoshita, a freshman high school student living a typical high school life, her presence absent from the vibrant high school world. Originally from parallel universes, leading parallel lives that would never intersect, our bodies were swapped, bringing us together.
