My Awkward Senpai is based on the manga by Makoto Kudo, which started serialization in Square Enix’s Young Gangan in 2022 and has nine volumes as of March 2025. Comikey describes the premise as:

“Well… as you can see, my senpai’s a little intense – hold on, “a little”?”

Kannawa-senpai is considered many things, but smooth is definitely not one of them. Then she meets Kamegawa, her new Kouhai. He’s cute, a little nerdy, and easy to talk to. How will this awkward Senpai be able to handle these new feelings?!
