    Adaptationmanga小学館

    This page follows the light novel; the manga has its own volume numbers.

    Kazuhiko Nukumizu, a high school student who’s just a background extra in his class, ends up witnessing his classmate Anna Yanami, who is popular with the boys, getting rejected by her childhood friend. Nukumizu reluctantly comforts Yanami, but this leads to all sorts of girls with an unmistakable air of defeat getting him caught up in their lives—and then...!? An inexplicable tale of youth spent alongside the losing heroines—the Makeines—begins here! May good fortune smile on these girls, who shine all the brighter in defeat.

    • Season 1: The manga adaptation currently reaches volume 6, whose story is still in the school-festival arc already covered by Season 1. It does not yet offer a confirmed continuation beyond the anime. For the next part of the story, continue the original light novel from volume 4.
    • Season 2: Season 2 is scheduled for July 2027 and has not aired yet. Its ending and the reading position after it are not known.
