Summary
Professor Ishigami Senku (32, research methodology, coffee addict, enemy of excuses) doesn’t believe in variables he can’t control. Especially not in students who show up late, smile sweetly, and smell like magic dust.
Asagiri Gen (22, double major in psychology and performing arts, part-time mentalist) had never met anyone who looked at him as if he were an irrelevant piece of data. Usually, he’s the one reading others. But this professor in a red tie seems to be written in a language he hasn’t deciphered yet.
When Gen decides to stay in his class—not for the grade, but for the challenge—he becomes the most unlikely teacher’s pet on campus. Senku calls him a “contaminating variable.” Gen calls him a “social experiment.”
The problem with designing an experiment with a subject who refuses to follow protocol is that, at some point, someone is going to have to rethink the hypotheses.
Science says that when two surfaces rub together, friction generates heat, wear, and, sometimes, sparks.
Science, on this occasion, is not wrong.Slow burn. Age gap (22/32). Teacher/student. Science comedy. Occasional tension. And plenty of analogies that would make a physicist cry.
