Tonari no Seki no Yankee Shimizu-san ga Kami o Kuroku Sometekita

Shimizu-san, the rebellious girl sitting beside Hondo in class, suddenly appeared with jet-black hair. “I changed my hair color… just for you,” she murmured, her cheeks turning pink before burying her face in her arms on the desk. Later, when Hondo casually mentioned to a friend that he liked girls who could cook, something unexpected happened. The next day, Shimizu-san—who normally skipped practical lessons—somehow ended up as his partner in cooking class. Her usual absence from these sessions made the sudden pairing even more surprising, leaving Hondo to wonder about her unexpected actions. The way she kept glancing at him while pretending to focus on the recipe only added to the mystery. It was as if she had been waiting for just the right moment to show this different side of herself. The classroom buzzed with whispers as others noticed the unusual change in her behavior too. Even the teacher seemed surprised when Shimizu-san actually participated instead of disappearing like usual. Hondo couldn’t help but feel both confused and strangely touched by her efforts. The whole situation left him wondering what other surprises she might have in store.
