Hinami Ayukawa, a first-year high school student, happened to meet Shiaoi Hiiragi at a club party and fell in love at first sight. Chasing after the good-looking senior, Hinami jumped into the women's basketball club despite her lack of athleticism. She decides to become the manager of the club instead of a member, and gradually closes the gap between her and the senior she admires.

Reception

Erica Friedman of Yuricon gave the omnibus an overall 9 out of 10 rating, remarking that “the strength of this particular series is the sincerity. Both Shiki and Hina are so gosh darn sincere and adorable that you really want them to be happy together.” She went on to praise Yuama's art and the progress it took over the series.[7]

Anime News Network was less favourable, giving the omnibus an overall B- rating; noting that "while The Girl I Want Is So Handsome! definitely avoids a lot of the problematic tropes that have infested many other Yuri and shoujo romances, what we're left with is so barebones that it doesn't feel nearly as appetizing as I think it wants to be."[8]
