1) the MC is an ordinary guy. Not an outcast, or weirdo, or self-loathing reject. He has friends. He is able to talk normally to his classmates, both boys and girls, without throwing a nervous fit. They think he is OK. There is nothing "special" about him and that is such a relief. He is considerate. He is willing to help out. He is willing to improve. His strength is in fact that he takes the time to actually talk to people, listen to them and think about what they are trying to say.
2) there a are quite a few other characters and they also feel like real people. They talk about real things, and seem like a good approximation of real Japanese teenagers.
The story is that the MC was obsessed with the prettiest girl in his class and became notorious for always chasing her. He has now matured enough to realize that this was poor behaviour on his part. However, she had become used to him being there and isn't certain how to deal with that. It is a fairly basic storyline but really just serves as the framing device for a snapshot of a group of young adults growing up and starting to face emotional maturity.
The dialogue is well written and interesting. The artwork is fairly standard to the point where it can be hard to tell the floppy haired boys apart. I don't expect shocking revelations or drama from this show, just light banter and a growing emotional awareness.
