what i liked about this one is she was a gyaru but she wasn't mean and had to be reformed. he was a chubby nerd but he just really wanted to help her for her own sake and wasn't actually revolting or any self-insert author shit. and they grew feelings naturally. and her friends weren't mean they were supportive.

in my social circle in my early 20s there was a beautiful and smart and popular girl and there was a guy who was homeschooled and awkward with nerdy interests but with an incredibly kind heart. i don't know how it happened but they fell in love hard and in a year they got married. that was over 20 years ago and they are still emailing us pictures of their biking trips together. really seeming unlikely but beautiful pairings happen in real life.
