Synopsis
Sato views himself as a completely unremarkable student, yet he finds himself surrounded by a circle of profoundly eccentric classmates. From a teacher sporting a black eyepatch to peers who wrap themselves in bandages or spend their days immersed in manga and peach milk, the environment is thick with theatrical delusions of grandeur. Driven by a desire to escape his own perceived dullness, Sato attempts to embrace this theatricality, trying his hand at exorcising spirits and plotting the salvation of the world. However, the crushing weight of social embarrassment consistently pulls him back to reality. While he laments his inability to be truly strange, he remains oblivious to the fact that his presence has already fundamentally altered the lives of those around him. The prose maintains a light, comedic energy that escalates through situational irony, rewarding those who enjoy character-driven humor and the irony of an oblivious protagonist. Those seeking high-stakes drama may find the low-tension daily life atmosphere frustrating.

Editorial Review
At sixty-one chapters, this completed work offers a concise and satisfying arc that avoids the bloat often found in longer webnovels. The strongest element is the chemistry between the leads, specifically the dynamic between the self-deprecating Sato and the enigmatic Dazai. The BL elements are integrated naturally into the school setting, providing a sweet emotional core to the comedy. However, the brevity of the story is also a slight drawback; some of the supporting characters, such as Qi Mujun and 5T5, feel more like sketches than fully realized individuals due to the limited page count. The plot remains relatively static, relying heavily on the central irony rather than evolving the stakes. Despite this, the tight structure ensures the humor lands effectively without overstaying its welcome, making it a quick, cohesive read for those seeking a lighthearted romantic comedy.
