This is just a joke fancast populated with MCU, DCEU, and SSU actors not meant to be taken seriously. An alternative interpretation is Hollywood up to their no-good whitewashing tendencies. Tadano Hitohito is just your ordinary high-school student starting his first year of high school. Planning to have a peaceful and normal high school life, his plans come to an end before they even began. The reason? Well, on her first day attending the elite Itan Private High School, the overwhelmingly beautiful Shoko Komi immediately receives an overwhelming surge in popularity due to the unprecedented stoic beauty and refined elegance her classmates perceive her to possess, She has been seated right to him, thus making him become the target of the entire class' jealousy. Soon, however, it is only he who figures out Komi's secret: underneath her beautiful appearance and reputation as the school idol, Komi suffers from a communication disorder which prevents her from making friends or even speaking normally to other people. Empathizing with her plight, Tadano resolves to spend his high school life helping Komi make one hundred friends. Yet, things may not be as easy as they sound, as the school is filled with students with strong personalities, and making friends with these weirdos might bring troubles of their own.
