Nao is an adorable, hopelessly romantic high schooler smitten with Uehara, an emotionally detached classmate who couldn't care less about her but is forced to live with her due to unforeseeable circumstances. It's an adorable (yet totally misogynistic) relationship that I'm afraid Americans will see as representative of male- female dynamics in Japan, wherein the woman does all the pining and the man stoically ignores her affections. In reality, Nao is an old-fashioned anomaly: modern Japanese relationships are much more like those of the other characters, so any viewer not familiar with the culture would probably do better to get their intel from them (or not a teen romance based off a girls' manga), not the love between the two main characters.
