"The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses" centers on the daily life and interactions of two middle school students, Kaede Komura and Ai Mie. Kaede, a reserved and observant boy, finds himself seated next to Ai, a cheerful and somewhat scatterbrained girl who frequently forgets her glasses. This recurring issue becomes a focal point of their relationship, as Ai’s poor eyesight leads to humorous and endearing situations. Kaede often assists her, whether by reading text aloud, guiding her through the school, or simply ensuring she doesn’t bump into objects.

The narrative explores the gradual development of their bond, highlighting Kaede’s growing affection for Ai and his efforts to support her despite his own shyness. Ai’s forgetfulness and reliance on Kaede create opportunities for lighthearted moments, while also revealing her vulnerability and dependence on others. The story balances comedic elements with subtle emotional undertones, portraying the challenges and joys of adolescence.

Secondary characters, such as classmates and teachers, occasionally contribute to the dynamics, but the focus remains primarily on Kaede and Ai. Their interactions are characterized by a blend of awkwardness, sincerity, and mutual care, reflecting the innocence and uncertainty of young love. The series captures the small, everyday moments that define their relationship, emphasizing themes of connection, understanding, and the quiet beauty of ordinary life.
