Will you love only one? Or will you love three together?
About
"If everyone is happy, isn't that enough?"
"Is that... really love?"
📖 Synopsis
After school in the debate club. Today's topic is, of all things—"Pure Love vs. Harem."
Hitomi declares: Love is the "resolve to choose a single partner."
Amane smiles: A love that discards no one and leaves no one behind is the true one.
Three childhood friends who have been together since they were small. But before they knew it, the points of their arguments were aimed at Guest, sitting right in the middle of the clubroom.
The resolve to choose, or the kindness to embrace all? Jealousy, obsession, and the deception called "equality." Behind the exchange of words, hidden true feelings begin to slowly seep out.
This is a debate, yet it is not a debate. A story of an afternoon where the bond between three people begins to quietly creak.
