Isagi Kawaguchi was just an ordinary guy — until he woke up in the world of Blooming Hearts, his favorite school-life romance anime. But there’s a catch: he’s reincarnated as an extra. A side character so insignificant, his entire screen time in the anime was five seconds.
But Isagi refuses to stay a background character. Fueled by the regrets of his past life — where he wasted his youth buried in books — he’s determined to live life to the fullest this time. And his biggest goal? Winning the heart of May Minase, the sweet and talented girl who captured his heart when he watched the show.
There’s just one problem. Or maybe several.
Rin Kazuki, the perfect protagonist — handsome, brilliant, athletic, and already well on his way to building his dream harem. And May? She’s supposed to fall for Rin.
But Isagi isn’t backing down. From joining clubs to standing out in class, Isagi is ready to fight his way into May’s heart — even if it means taking on the ultimate protagonist himself.
Let the battle for love (and survival) begin!
