Hikari Tsutsui has never been popular, his one real friend is an even worse otaku than he is, and the only girls he's known are the two-dimensional women from his manga and video games. Until, that is, he's sent to help clean the pool as punishment and is partnered with the school's resident "bad girl", the very real, very three-dimensional Iroha Igarashi. Brash, beautiful, and known for her promiscuous behavior, Iroha is loathed by other girls but loved by the guys. And yet, inexplicably, she not only seems to be interested in Hikari, but proposes that they enter into a relationship! Unable to resist, Hikari agrees, but there's one big catch - Iroha's moving away in six months, so no matter what happens between them, in half a year Hikari's guaranteed to lose his REAL GIRL!

Where it came from
Real Girl, known in Japan as 3D Kanojo: Real Girl, was produced by Hoods Entertainment and aired in 2018. It is an anime adaptation of the manga series written and illustrated by Mao Nanami, which ran in Dessert magazine from 2011 to 2016. The narrative follows the unlikely romance between a socially isolated high school boy and a popular, unconventional girl, exploring themes of growth, prejudice, and the bridge between personal interests and social expectations.
The character design for the anime adaptation sought to translate Nanami’s distinctively grounded shoujo style into an animation format that balanced intimate character moments with a relatable high school setting. While the series was received as a sincere contribution to the romance genre, it remains notable for its straightforward approach to the 'opposites attract' trope, focusing more on the protagonists' individual development than on dramatic artifice. It serves as a representative example of the studio's work in capturing character-driven youth dramas during that period.
