Naoki Irie is the smart older son of the Irie family, in the same years as Kotoko, but in class A because of his good grades. He’s the stereotypical smart guy, except kinda realistic in that he doesn’t put in effort and just has raw talent. There are actually people like that in the world.

But that’s what they start off with, without even getting to know Naoki, Kotoko falls in love, even outright stating the despicable phrase ‘love at first sight.’. Thus it seems like a physical attraction instead of love (love transcends simple looks). But the anime is self-aware.
