Episode 4 Story

A beautiful girl suddenly appears in front of Eiyu. Staring at him closely, she beams with a smile and exclaims, “I knew it, it really is you, Big Brother Eiyu!”

She is Runa, a childhood friend who is one year younger than Eiyu and who used to live nearby until five years ago. Having returned to the area to prepare for her high school entrance exams, she ends up moving in and living at Eiyu’s house.

As if that were not enough, Runa makes a series of bold declarations, saying things like “I’ve totally fallen in love with you, Big Brother Eiyu!” and even expressing her affection in an unexpectedly direct way. With the arrival of a third childhood friend, signs of major upheaval begin to surface.

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!
