The manga centers on Tōji, a 20 year old guy who becomes well-known after a certain incident, and consequently begins to take part-time jobs that allow him to not stand out and interact with a minimum amount of people. When Tōji helps out a customer in his supermarket job, he makes the acquaintance of a girl named Sakuya in the process. Tōji learns that Sakuya is gifted with an ability called Super Eye, which allows her to have a remarkable memory and recall ability, but she has also had trouble fitting in school. Now, these two people who don’t fit in their respective societies wind up living together in the same house.
Narumi launched the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san (Ms. Koizumi loves ramen noodles) manga in Takeshobo’s Manga Life Storia magazine in 2013, and moved it to the magazine’s Storia Dash website after the magazine ceased publication in 2019. Dark Horse Comics is publishing the manga in English. The manga inspired a television anime that premiered in January 2018. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan.
