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!

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?

A RIVAL CHILDHOOD FRIEND APPEARS! Hina Fushimi continues her enthusiastic pursuit of Ryou Takamori, but when another old friend of Ryou’s transfers to their high school, she learns her status is not as unique as she thought. With Ai Himejima’s arrival on the scene, Hina and Ryou’s relationship hits a snag. The two girls compete for Ryou’s attention, and both take bold measures to win him over—especially Hina. However, he still remains oblivious to their feelings! On the upcoming school field trip, will this change?

ONLY ONE CAN WIN! Finally, the screenplay is complete, and Ryou Takamori and the crew can start filming their short movie! After borrowing equipment from Ai Himejima’s agency, they head to a faraway beach to shoot one of their scenes. It’s not all fun and games, however, when an argument breaks out between Hina Fushimi and Shizuka Torigoe— and that’s before Ryou learns Hina and Ai are auditioning for the same role in a musical! He roots for both, but he knows only one of them can pass...

AN EVENTFUL SUMMER... Summer break is coming to an end, and the production of the school festival’s short movie is progressing well. So with time to spare, Ryou uses this opportunity to work on a personal project—his own short film! But that’s not the only thing on his plate, as he’s also assigned to shoot a promotional video for Himejima. Of course, Hina gets jealous and ends up revealing her anxieties. Ryou learns about her failed attempts to break into the entertainment industry and tries to comfort her, but is that really enough?

Hina’s film is done, completing another big step toward her dream, and suddenly, the second semester is upon them. The cultural festival, fireworks festival, and summer vacation have been bringing Hina and Ryou closer than ever. On the other hand, Ai and Shizuka haven’t given up on love. While these girls struggle with their one-sided feelings, Hina becomes more aggressive when it comes to her own...
