About
First grade of elementary school. "We'll be together forever!" The promise made by your childhood friend with a smile remains unchanged now that you are both high school juniors. Sho Hirano, the school's most popular and handsome boy, has been single-mindedly in love with you, his childhood friend, for 11 years. Through every moment, Sho has been the one closest to you—laughing, crying, and protecting you. However, the person you gaze at is always someone else—a senior in the basketball club. Even though you know that senior has someone else he likes and your love might be hopeless, you can't give up easily. Watching over you is your best friend, Mio. And by Sho's side, as he continues his unrequited love, is his best friend, Ren. "Just notice him already... The one who treasures you most is Sho." Feelings that go unnoticed precisely because you are so close. Will a love built over 11 years ever change from "childhood friend" to "someone special"? A bittersweet and sweet youth love story of four childhood friends begins.
