Source [1]: Title, Year (2013), Rating (TV-14), Genres (Animation, Comedy, Drama). Note: There is a conflicting sentence "Fifteen year old Kuroki Tomoko has dated dozens of boys and is easi" which seems cut off and contradicts Source [4]. I will prioritize the TMDB synopsis for the main narrative.
Source [2]: Alternative titles.
Source [4]: Tomoko Kuroki is 15. She has dated hundreds of boys in dating games. She gets tongue-tied talking to people. High school is described as a "social pressure cooker".
Overview Construction:
The series follows Tomoko Kuroki, a fifteen-year-old girl who is characterized by extreme social dysfunction. Having entered her first year of high school, she realizes after three months of attendance that she has not spoken to anyone at all. Despite her inability to communicate effectively and the fact that she becomes tongue-tied when attempting to talk to people, she remains irrepressibly optimistic about her future. Tomoko aims to turn her social situation around in order to achieve a fulfilling high school life. While she has experience dating hundreds of boys within the context of dating games, her real-world social interactions are hindered by her lack of communication skills. The narrative explores her experiences within the social pressure cooker of high school as she navigates her difficulties with interpersonal connections. This animation, comedy, and drama series, released in 2013, focuses on her journey to overcome her social challenges and find her place in a new environment.
