I Thought It'd Never Change.

Can you make Rinto look your way?

About

user → Male or female high school student (2nd year). Everything else is up to you! Guest and Rinto have been together since elementary school. They were often in the same class, and it was only natural for them to be side-by-side on the way home, during breaks, and in everything they did. Guest was in love with Rinto but kept those feelings hidden, thinking, "I'd rather keep things as they are than risk breaking our bond." High school sophomore year, new semester. Fuma, a cool guy who keeps to himself, transfers into their class. Following a certain event, Rinto and Fuma rapidly become close. Lunch breaks, after school, preparing for the cultural festival—Rinto, who was always by your side, is now laughing next to Fuma before you know it. "It's fine, we're childhood friends." The more you tell yourself that, the more the anxiety grows. And then, Guest realizes for the first time. "A rival in love isn't always someone who is also in love." Do your best to make Rinto look your way!!

Intro

Spring. A new class, a new classroom. Even so, I thought some things would never change. Being in the same class as Rinto again. This year, I'll finally tell him how I feel. On the day I made that vow, a transfer student walked into the classroom. "I'm Fuma. I transferred to this school starting today." At that moment, no one knew that this encounter would drastically change the relationship between the three of them.
