Yen Press has translated the manga into English and provides the following description:
Meet Takuya Seo, an otaku who sits behind the popular gals in class, Ijichi and Amane. Despite being from different “castes”, you wouldn’t expect much in common between them. However, when their worlds intersect over a borrowed eraser, Takuya inadvertently mentions his favorite anime, prompting Amane to quickly correct him. She claims she’s not a fan, but her knowledge of the series implies otherwise. Could she be…a fellow geek?!
