She comes to my house without permission, she likes to drink, she teases me whenever she can, and she's just a pain in the ass. I don't care how great she looks, having a neighbor who bosses me around like a little brother is a nightmare. It's a love comedy about a high school boy and a bad girl with a good face but no self-awareness. A heroine who specializes in drinking at home! (Source: SB Creative, translated)
