"Kubo-san Won't Forgive Me", which is scheduled to be broadcast as a winter anime, is a gentle love comedy woven by the mob boy Shiraishi-kun, who has no presence, and the cute and slightly mean heroine Kubo-san. The main character of "Kubo-san Won't Forgive Me", Shiraishi-kun, has a very weak presence! He is so weak that most people don't notice him. He is not ignored, but he is not noticed. I have summarized how weak Shiraishi-kun's presence is!
Easy mob face with no presence!
The main character, Shiraishi-kun, has a face that can be easily drawn in about 10 seconds, so it is hard to believe that he is the main character. In contrast to the heroine Kubo-san's charm and expressiveness, if you draw only her face, it will be drawn in no time. Normally, she has a mob face like the one in the corner of a frame, and her face has no individuality and no presence. Recently, there have been more works with the idea of a mob character as the protagonist, but such characters do not often have a mob face. In that respect, Shiraishi-kun has a real mob face, a strong style.
In addition to having a mob face, his facial expressions are so lacking in change that he has no presence!
In addition to having a mob face with too few characteristics, Shiraishi-kun has a lack of facial expressions. He does have emotional ups and downs, and he does get surprised or depressed, but his facial expressions hardly change, so you can't tell at all. I think that the lack of change in his facial expressions also adds to his lack of presence.
He doesn't get noticed by the teacher right next to him!
Shiraishi-kun is not noticed by his homeroom teacher even when he is in class. In reality, he is there, so he is often surprised. Even if he does something during class, it seems that he will not be noticed unless he does something very conspicuous. In fact, at the start of the story, he has a perfect attendance award, but since it would not be strange for him to be treated as absent at any time, he declares to the teacher "I was present" after each class. Furthermore, he was never called on during class.
Classmates look at him five times!
His classmates aren't ignoring him, they just don't notice his presence. So when they see him, they take five looks to confirm that he's at school, and are surprised that he's there. It seems that they can't confirm his presence without looking five times, and even if they do find him, they often lose sight of him right away. There are days when classmates often find him, and days when they don't.
He doesn't get noticed even when he's standing in line at the cash register!
Shiraishi-kun's weak presence is not only limited to school. He is not even noticed when he is waiting in line at the cash register at a convenience store, and people mistakenly think that he should put the product back. Moreover, this seems to happen often, and he seems to be used to it. Since no one notices him like that, even if someone calls out to him or says hello, he doesn't think that it is a greeting for him. If he misunderstands and returns the greeting, it will be embarrassing.
I can't get pocket tissues!
Shiraishi-kun suddenly wants some pocket tissues, but when he tries to get some of the free tissues being handed out, he can't get any because he's not noticed. He tries to do various things to make himself more conspicuous, but he doesn't seem to be noticed by the people handing out the tissues, let alone the people walking around him. So he plays around with how far he can go without being noticed.
He's not even recognized by the automatic door!
It's not just humans who are weak and difficult to recognize, but it seems to be difficult to recognize from the occupancy sensor of automatic doors. In fact, it was the type of automatic door that opens by pressing a button, but it seems to be difficult to recognize from the door that opens by pressing the button, and there was no reaction at all when I pressed the button. It seems to be difficult to recognize not only from humans but also from machines. It seems that there are good days and bad days, but even on good days, it seems that it doesn't open in one go.
It's hard to recognize from family members too!
Shiraishi-kun, of course, has a family. It seems that Shiraishi-kun's family is not completely unrecognizable. However, it seems that he is barely able to recognize them because he is used to living with them, and there are times when he is locked out and locked out without being noticed when he leaves the house. Shiraishi-kun's mother and brother have a weak presence and do not have any attributes that make them unnoticed, but in fact, he seems to resemble his father, so maybe his weak presence is inherited from his father.
Valentine's Day is a weekday for Shiraishi-kun!
For Shiraishi-kun, exciting events at school are meaningless. Especially on Valentine's Day, he thinks it's a weekday because it's impossible for him to receive obligatory chocolate due to his lack of presence. However, if there is chocolate in his desk, he will be extremely upset. Even so, he doesn't think that the chocolate was given to him, and will think that someone put it there by mistake.
Losing something is a big problem!
Shiraishi-kun is also human, so he does lose things. However, in Shiraishi-kun's case, even if someone picks up his lost items or notices that he has forgotten something, he often loses sight of the person who lost it, so he seems to be especially careful in everyday life. When he lost his student handbook, he was lucky to get it back through a connection.
Bring lots of erasers to test days!
If he drops his eraser on test day, not only will it not be picked up, but even if he raises his hand, the teacher won't notice, so he takes the test with a lot of erasers. Because of his nature, he never studied or got help from anyone, but Kubo-san was an exception and sometimes he would help him study.
He has such a low presence that no one will notice him no matter where he eats lunch!
Because he has no presence, he can eat lunch anywhere during his lunch break without being found or scolded, so lunch seems to be his favorite time of day because it feels like a little adventure. He also ate in the music room or science lab. Kubo-san found him.
He doesn't notice even when Kubo-san is hitting on him next to him!
Shiraishi-kun has been hanging out with Kubo-san more often, but as you can see, Kubo-san is a beautiful girl who is so beautiful that it's not surprising that she gets picked up. However, she was being picked up right in front of Shiraishi-kun. The men who were picking her up didn't ignore Shiraishi-kun and do something bad, they just didn't notice him even though he was right in front of them. When Shiraishi-kun called out to them, they backed off easily.
Even if you sleep during class, you won't be noticed!
Shiraishi-kun has never been called on during class. He has been called on once by Kubo-san's power play, but that was it. There is no way that a guy who can't be called on during class would be reprimanded for sleeping during class. Moreover, he sleeps with his eyes open, so he will never be found out. That's something I'm a little jealous of.
But only Kubo notices him
Shiraishi-kun is a mob boy with a weak presence. But for some reason, only Kubo-san notices him. While no one else notices Shiraishi-kun, Kubo-san does not forgive him. Shiraishi-kun is aware that he is a mob character among mob characters, but Kubo-san does not forgive him. Also, for some reason, Kubo-san's older sister and cousin seem to be able to find Shiraishi-kun as well.
