WataNare Synopsis :

"I'm going to achieve the perfect school life!" Rena Amori decides to completely change her life when she enters high school, after spending her adolescence as a loner. She dreams of living as a popular girl with lots of friends, but her introverted personality almost suffocates her in this new environment.

WataNare is a Japanese yuri light novel series written by Teren Mikami and illustrated by Eku Takeshima. Shueisha has released six volumes since February 2020 under its Dash X Bunko imprint. However, a manga adaptation with art by Musshu was released in Niconico Seiga's Dash X Comic section in May 2020. The manga has also been licensed in Brazil by Panini.
