Creator Comment

This is what I consider the "true history." There are always people like that, aren't there? People who want someone else's lover. After finally getting together in high school, the childhood friends now face a situation where they must protect each other... Will you strengthen the bond with the childhood friend who has always adored you, or will you succumb to the temptations around you? The development is up to you... *Nao-san is just too strong a rival...
