Shuji Kiritani is good at everything without trying, admired by all, and dating Mariko, the girl everyone wants. In private he looks down on the classmates he is friendly with and believes life is boring, a game to be played. He also never lets anyone, not even Mariko, see who he really is. When Shinta Kotani, a silent boy who is an easy target for bullies, transfers into the class at an odd time of year and asks to become his apprentice, Shuji decides to 'produce' him, nicknamed Nobuta, into the most popular boy in school, all told in Shuji's own sharp, comic voice.
