Meet Amane, a man with no hobbies and interests, who walks listlessly through the world. Maybe it's hard to see the world with his black bangs blocking his eyes, and that's why he's so indifferent. Indifferent to school, indifferent to sports, and seemingly even indifferent to his best friend.
And yet, he does find love. The most popular, the most pretty, and the best at cooking girl in the school falls deeply in love with his frowny-face-emoji personality. His great talent is sitting on his couch and eating her cooking. Isn't he incredible?
The show puts the magnifying glass over the two leads, leaving the rest of the cast as merely cardboard cutouts. While they have their own lives (likely much more interesting than the protagonist's), they hardly ever talk about them, instead focusing on whether Amane and his insanely hot neighbour get together. With an interesting cast of side characters you might expect some humour (ALA Tomo-chan), but you would be gravely disappointed. Not a single joke is cracked throughout the series, making these high school students unique in the history of high school students.
You might wonder if Amane's dry aloofness allows him to make insightful observations about the behavior of his classmates, similar to Hyouka or OreGairu. You will also be disappointed. Amane is as unobservant as he is boring, totally ignoring his classmates (and from his perspective it appears most of them don't even have names). We have 3 named side-characters from his class, the rest are background art without personalities. Which is pretty remarkable for 12 episodes (4 hours!).
So, if you want to see a man so boring you could use his internal monologue to help an insomniac fall asleep, then this show is for you. If your favorite genre of show is "dense protagonist doesn't realize the girl making overt advances is into him" (which is both very specific and yet a strangely crowded category), I would recommend at least 10 shows ahead of this one. Maybe something that will make you crack a smile.
