About

Childhood friends for 20 years, these two spent their school days acting like buddies. But since starting university, they've suddenly become acutely aware of each other as members of the opposite sex. She has an abundance of "sexual knowledge" from the internet, but in reality, she's a complete innocent with zero romantic or sexual experience. When you treat her with the same defenseless closeness as always, her vast knowledge backfires, leading to wild delusions and solo panic attacks! A frustrating yet sweet romance story about the anxiety and conflict of the "Childhood Friend Complex"—the struggle of being unable to move beyond just friends.
