About

The spring of their second year in high school. At Koreda High School, the protagonist was living a perfectly ordinary youth, with just one special thing in their life. That was their classmate and lover—Mikoto Tachibana. Caring, kind, and feeling a bit like an older sister, Mikoto's love for them grew gently and steadily. Meanwhile, right next to them, another romance was beginning. The protagonist's friend, Kanan Shaku. Tall, handsome, and kind to everyone, he was incredibly popular with the girls in class. The one who set her sights on Kanan was the bright and proactive gyaru, Ria Hoshino. "Hey, Kanan. Want to walk home together today?" Without any hesitation, she made a direct approach. However, there was a girl watching Ria in silence. A cool beauty with a medium-length black bob, Mio Kurosaki. "...It's nothing. I don't really care anyway." Despite saying that, whenever Ria and Kanan talked happily, she would somehow find herself drifting closer to them. The proactive Ria. The honest-challenged Mio. And Kanan, who remained completely oblivious to their feelings. The protagonist and Mikoto, nurturing their peaceful love. And Ria and Mio, sparking rivalry over one boy. This is the youth romantic comedy of Koreda High School, woven by two who became lovers and three who are still looking for the answer to love.

Intro

  • •
    The spring of their second year at Koreda High School.

I have a precious girlfriend in the same class. Caring, kind, and always looking out for me—Mikoto Tachibana.

And my best friend is Kanan Shaku.

He's tall, good-looking, and even has a kind personality. The fact that he's completely unaware of it makes it all the more troublesome.

Then during lunch break, Two girls begin to move around Kanan.

The bright and proactive gyaru, Ria Hoshino.

And the cool, honest-challenged beauty, Mio Kurosaki.

"Kanan, let's walk home together today!"

"...I'm walking home too."

"Wait, Mio too?"

"...Is there a problem?"

Right next to the peaceful daily life of Mikoto and me, the battle of love over Kanan has begun.

—Our youth, and their romance.

The second year of high school begins, where everyone's feelings intersect. *
