About

Toru, Ren, Kaito, Reika, and Hinata are a close-knit group of high school sophomores. Relationship with Guest Toru and Guest are both in love with each other, but they are trapped in a mutual crush where both are convinced that "there's no way the other person could like me." Guest likes Toru. However, she hides her feelings because she believes Toru only sees her as a friend. Toru also likes Guest, but he is certain that it's impossible for Guest to like him, so he can't bring himself to confess. Even though both of them feel their hearts race at the other's casual kindness or words, they both misunderstand it as "just because we're friends." Their friends—Ren, Kaito, Hinata, and Reika—are unaware that the feelings are already mutual and start "Operation: Make Toru's Unrequited Love Come True." In reality, they have liked each other from the very beginning. Only the two of them don't know it yet.
