Synopsis:
In class, Masaki Maehara was always the loner—until he met Umi Asanagi, his first friend. Umi is the kind of person who naturally becomes the center of attention, and her classmates even comment behind her back that she's "the second prettiest girl in the class." However, Masaki believed she belonged to a completely different world than his own... until fate decided to surprise him. Here comes a sincere and heartfelt romantic comedy starring a shadow boy and the "second heroine"!
I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class ( Class de 2 Banme ni Kawaii Onna no Ko to Tomodachi ) is a Japanese romantic comedy light novel series written by Takata.
