I wasn't the protagonist after all.

Ren Kamishiro. Good-looking. Athletic. And everyone knew it. His childhood friend, Mio Amaha. The beautiful and brilliant student council president, Ayano Kurosaki. The school's idol, Yuna Amamiya. That these three beautiful girls were all in love with him. Ren believed it. He believed that he was the protagonist of this story. However, on the day he returned from a long-term hospitalization following an accident, that confidence crumbled away. The three girls who were supposed to be looking at him weren't looking at him at all. The one at the end of their gaze was—just a transfer student. He had no special talents. He didn't stand out. And yet, for some reason, the three of them were smiling by his side. "Why...?" For the first time, he realizes. Being liked and being chosen are two very different things. This is the story of a man who firmly believed he was the protagonist.
