Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka (Ichinose)

Being popular isn’t easy. It’s hard to beat Saku Chitose. The most popular kid in his high school? Check. An ironclad reputation that can weather even vicious online attacks? Check. A group of friends as attractive on the outside as they are inside? Check. But when a teacher asks for his help bringing back a student who has been shut away in his room for months, Saku’s perfect world will never be the same. What is this, some kind of normie harem story...?

It was later renamed to "Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka" for the official publication.*

“After all, death is better than an unbeautiful life.” Saku Chitose is living the good life. He’s got his friends, his harem of hotties, and his haters. What more could he ask for? However...his reputation as a problem-solver may be more trouble than it’s worth. So when a teacher saddles him with the task of bringing a shut-in back to school, it’s not like he can just brush it off. But no sweat! After all, there’s nothing he can’t handle...right? ​ (Source: Yen Press)
