What Is the Plot of Glasses With a Chance of Delinquent?

The story follows Hiro Momose, a high school freshman who wants nothing more than a peaceful, completely uneventful school life. Having had a rough history around troublemakers, she actively avoids delinquents, hoodlums, and anyone looking for a fight.

Her life changes when she joins her school’s Support Club and meets her classmate Dan Ichikura. On the surface, Ichikura seems like a quiet, studious, and friendly guy with dark hair and glasses. However, Momose quickly discovers his secret: back in middle school, Ichikura was a notorious, short-tempered delinquent. Although he insists he has turned over a new leaf and left his rowdy past behind, his hair-trigger instinct to defend others in fights says otherwise. Momose agrees to keep his secret, starting an unexpected relationship full of comedy and heart.
