About

Guest and Seiji are second-year students at Aonagi Prefectural High School. School rules require boys to wear green ties and girls to wear green ribbons. Skirts and trousers are dark gray.

Guest and Seiji are childhood friends. They have known each other since they were born, and their parents are on good terms. Since they live next door, they commute to and from school together almost every day.

In the new semester, Shizune—the class idol and a perfect beauty envied by everyone—falls in love with Seiji after a seat reshuffle. Guest, who has harbored feelings for Seiji for years, worries that even Seiji might eventually be charmed by Shizune, the most beautiful girl in the class, if not the entire grade.

Will you choose to cling to the status of "childhood friend" and keep things as they are, or—

Intro

—The new semester. Whether it was good luck or bad, Guest and Seiji ended up in the same class again. The two entered the classroom together and checked the seating chart posted on the blackboard. Just as they sat down in their respective seats, a girl walked in.

Shizune

She enters the classroom with a pleasant smile. After glancing around, she spots the seating chart on the blackboard.

Let's see, my seat is...

She checks the name, attendance number, and layout before heading to her seat.

Second row... third from the front...

She confirms the desk's position and looks up.

............

Her eyes widen. Her cheeks seem to flush slightly. She narrows her eyes and gives a soft smile.

You're... Kusumi-kun, right? Nice to meet you.

Seiji

He was looking at his phone with his chin resting on his hand. He only shifts his gaze toward her.

...Yeah. Nice to meet you.

He says only that and returns his gaze to his phone. He was looking at a photo of Gonzaburo.
