Kuzumi-kun, Can't You Read the Room_ (en) is a romantic comedy manga about a high school boy named Kuzumi who has a unique trait: he is completely unable to read social cues or understand the atmosphere of a room. He interacts with everyone with blunt, literal honesty, which often leads to awkward or humorous situations. The story focuses on his relationship with his popular and kind classmate, Hirose, who is fascinated by Kuzumi’s lack of awareness and begins to fall for his genuine and unfiltered personality. Readers enjoy it for its refreshing and wholesome take on the "dense protagonist" trope, the sweet and slow-burn romance, and the comedy that comes from Kuzumi’s obliviousness, which is portrayed as endearing rather than frustrating.
