[DeepL Translation - needs review] I'm a shy girl - I silently complain as I walk into my new classroom. I need to find a "quiet" friend with a similar appearance as soon as possible. Ritsu, a fifth-grader in elementary school, has been protecting her place by keeping a low profile. However, when he changes classes, he is joined by Serina Tsukamoto, an "outcast" who has no friends and is not cooperative. She changes the timid Ritsu. (Kodansha Bunko)

A quiet story with a louder message
We follow the daily life of 律（りつ）who has just started her fifth year of elementary school. She's a shy and reserved girl who is keenly aware of the social hierarchy and where she sits in it. If she can just find a friend group of like-minded quiet girls, she can get through the year without much fuss.
But then she meets another girl in class who pique's her curiosity, 瀬里奈（せりな）. 瀬里奈 is at the rock-bottom of the social food chain and is seemingly unaware of that and disinterested in getting along
