Episode 2 Story

Eiyu and Shio end up riding a crowded bus together. With how close their bodies are, plus Shio’s stylish look, Eiyu can’t help but feel his heart race. Trying not to let Shio notice, Eiyu makes a certain move…

That night, Shio peeks into Akari’s room, thinking they might have a “snack party.” Instead, she overhears Akari looking at photos of Eiyu on her phone, quietly saying, “Why can’t I just be honest?”

Introduction

Yonosuke Sakai, a first-year high school student known as “Eiyu.” No girlfriend.

He is completely obsessed with romantic comedies, especially “childhood-friend rom-coms.”

Eiyu’s biggest problem right now is that his childhood friends, Shio and Akari, are just too cute!
But E-Yu knows the truth… “Real-life childhood friends never turn into a rom-com.”

And yet! The feelings of Shio and Akari themselves are actually directed toward Eiyu…!?

Every heroine is a childhood friend! Frustrating, agonizing, but heart-racing all the same!

The “hottest childhood-friend rom-com” begins!
