According to a plot synopsis for "Aharen-san wa Hakarenai" on MyAnimeList: "Reina Aharen, a small and cute student with a quiet voice, is quite bad at determining distance and personal space. Sometimes she's inches away from your face, and at other times, miles too far! The only one who tries to understand her antics is Raidou Matsuboshi, who is seated beside her in class. He has a menacing face, but in reality, he is a kind boy with an imagination that can run wild at times."

In the short trailer that has been released for the series, Raidou introduces himself to Aharen in light of the fact they sit next to one another in class. While Aharen initially appears unreceptive, Raidou then picks up an eraser she dropped, prompting her to begin whispering to him well within what might be considered his bubble of personal space. This appears to be a microcosm of the dynamic that will be showcased between Raidou and Aharen come the series' April 2022 premiere, and it'll certainly be fun to see how their personalities contrast.
