Shūji Kiritani (Kazuya Kamenashi) is a very popular high school boy whose girlfriend is Mariko Uehara (Erika Toda), the most popular girl in school. Despite his popularity among other students, he is relatively alone with Akira Kusano (Tomohisa Yamanutsa) as the only person he hangs out with, despite constantly claiming that he can't stand the other boy. One day, a very shy girl, Nobuko Kotani (Maki Horikita) comes to school and she instantly gets picked on by a few other girls for her shyness. Shūji and Akira then decide to "produce" her, or make her popular. They nickname her "Nobuta".
Of course, producing Nobuta is not an easy task, especially when a mysterious person is trying to ruin all of Shūji and Akira's efforts. In the end, the person turns out to be Aoi, Nobuta's "friend", who later on attempts suicide in a dream shared by Aoi, Nobuta, Akira, and Shūji.
In the final episode Shūji discovers that he and his family must move out of Tokyo because of his father's job and leave Nobuta to cope by herself with Akira. However, Akira follows Shūji to his new home town and surprises him by showing up at his new school. Nobuta is left alone in Tokyo, but she is not shy anymore, and is able to smile, and she also becomes somewhat popular among the other students.
