A brief synopsis of the series and what to expect in Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms episode 1 (speculative)

The rom-com Shonen Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms centers on Mona Kawai, a school 17-year-old girl who thrives in school on her cuteness and popularity. Confident in her allure, Mona is shocked when her charms fail to sway Medaka Kuroiwa, a new transfer student seemingly immune to her charm.

Determined to win him over, Mona cranks up her cuteness and even resorts to her most powerful weapon: physical allure. While her efforts leave other boys spellbound, Kuroiwa remains stoic, much to Mona's frustration.

What Mona doesn't realize is that Kuroiwa's resistance stems from his rigorous training to become a monk, compelling him to abstain from worldly temptations. As Mona pulls out all the stops to break his composure, she may find herself falling for the one boy who refuses to fall for her charms.

In Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms episode 1, viewers will step into the world of Mona and Kuroiwa. The premiere will likely introduce the main characters, their daily lives, and the setting, while also shedding light on the backgrounds of the main characters and key supporting roles.

Look forward to plenty of lighthearted moments and fun interactions, which will set the stage for this school-themed romantic comedy.
