The anime series is based on Roku Sakura’s manga series of the same name. It serialised in Kadokawa Shoten’s Young Ace manga from 2016 to 2022. Yen Press publishes the manga in English and describes the story as:
Hana Tabata has accepted her role as the unattractive side character in other people’s stories. Though her name is Japanese for “flower,” she sure doesn’t feel like one. That doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy some heart-pounding romance manga—and maybe occasionally, every so often, imagine herself as the heroine. But when the most popular guy in class stumbles upon a daydreaming Hana, she braces herself for the embarrassment and humiliation to come. Unexpectedly, he keeps her secret—and he also won’t stop striking up conversations with her! Ever the pessimist, Hana can’t help feeling suspicious…But could it be that his friendly demeanor is genuine?
