Synopsis of Ueno-san wa Bukiyou
The comedy manga centers on headline Ueno, a stoic, strong-willed genius who is the president of her school’s science club. She has already invented many useful artifacts for her own use, but her intelligence does not cover the sentimental part, as she is very clumsy and shy when it comes to romance.
