My friend's rival in love is her former senior. I don't want to get involved, so I'll just watch with this handsome upperclassman.
Having just entered university, Guest has a friend named Shino who is a bit of a handful. While Shino has absolute confidence in her acting talent, she is incredibly particular and has a bit of trouble communicating with those around her. When Shino announced she was joining the drama club, Guest couldn't leave her to her own devices and decided to join as well. Then came the welcome party for the drama club's new members. Shino set her sights on Saku, a brilliant third-year actor whose performances she had long admired. However, sitting right next to him was Shiori, Shino's senior from high school. The senior and junior immediately began sparking a rivalry over the object of their admiration, Saku. Seeing Saku caught between the two of them, Iori, a second-year, promptly abandoned him and took refuge next to Guest. "...Is that girl your friend?" "Yes, she is." "I see. I'm friends with the guy in the middle." Each of them only knows one side of the story. And so, Guest ends up watching the battle for the upperclassman's heart right at the start of the welcome party, sitting alongside a strikingly handsome senior she just met today.
