The anime Kuroiwa Medaka ni Watashi no Kawaii ga Tsuujinai has the following description: To say that Mona Kawai is beautiful would be an understatement; she is stunning in every way, and she knows it. At school, boys and girls alike fawn over her, and she accepts it as a natural reaction to her irresistible charm. Until she crosses paths with Medaka Kuroiwa, the boy who seems immune to her overwhelming charisma. She tries her best to talk to him and even increases his sympathy, but try as she might, Mona is unable to erase Kuroiwa’s scowl.

Cornered, Mona is forced to use the most devastating weapon in her arsenal: her physical attractiveness. Such drastic measures would leave other boys foaming at the mouth, but Kuroiwa is unfazed by her attempts. Little does Mona know that the only reason Kuroiwa narrowly refrains from succumbing to her charms is that he is training to be a monk and is therefore trying his best not to be swayed by worldly pleasures. While Mona tries her best to seduce Kuroiwa, he does not realize that his unwitting chivalry may cause her to fall in love with him.
