A FRUSTRATINGLY SWEET, ZERO-STRESS ROMANTIC COMEDY! ​As children, Ryou Takamori and Hina Fushimi were thick as thieves—but while Hina grew more beautiful and popular, Ryou faded into the background as a loner, and the two drifted apart. That is, until the morning Ryou saves Hina from a groper on a train and unwittingly reminds her how close they used to be. Now Hina is smitten—if only Ryou weren’t so oblivious!

When high-schooler Ryou Takamori steps in to save a girl on a crowded train, he never expected her to be his childhood friend Hina Fushimi. Though the two of them sit next to each other in class, they haven't spoken since middle school-but this heroic act might give Hina the push she needed to shorten the distance between them!

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT? After Ryou Takamori saved his estranged childhood friend Hina Fushimi from harassment on a train, the two have slowly reforged their bond. The only problem: They have completely different perspectives on their relationship! Ryou just can’t seem to wrap his head around why Hina is so clingy, while Hina thinks his cluelessness about her assertive flirting is evidence of a one-sided crush. Can anything get them on the same page?

Now that Hina and Ryou have rekindled their friendship, it’s time to take the next step in their relationship and volunteer to be class representatives together— but not if Shizuka has something to say about it! Uneasy with the growing distance between herself and Ryou, she pushes her insecurities to the side and throws her hat in the ring. With the title of class rep (and precious time with Ryou) on the line, who will manage to claim victory?

What was supposed to be a fun barbecue quickly turns sour when Hina overhears Ryou and Shinohara talking about their history together. It’s up to Ryou to sort out this misunderstanding before it hurts his relationship with his childhood friend, but the girls just can’t seem to get back into high spirits...though Mana has the perfect plan to change that! Meanwhile, Hina is ready to make a move of her own—but what could it be?!

Ryou and Hina’s relationship is moving steadily along, and now they’ve already gone on their first date. But Torigoe still has one last card to play—a confession of love! Choosing between his beloved childhood friend and his only comrade at school is enough to make any boy’s head spin... Ryou’s got a tough decision to make, and he’d better make it quick—because, as it turns out, Hina heard everything!

Hina refuses to reveal where she goes on the weekends—not even to Ryou. Worried, he decides to tail her, but what Ryou finds is completely unexpected— Hina is training to become an actress! Though he agrees to cheer her on as she makes her stage debut, Ryou can’t shake the feeling that his childhood friend is poised to ascend to heights he’ll never be able to reach...
