Episode 5 Story

Following the end of final exams, both Shio and Akari already have their minds set on summer vacation. However, one person returns home from school with a serious expression on his face: Yonosuke.

“Uh-oh. Have I been letting myself get distracted by pointless thoughts lately?” Realizing that now is not the time to be slacking off, Yonosuke throws himself into intense studying. Meanwhile, Shio, Akari, and Runa try to make plans for summer vacation, but Yonosuke refuses to engage with them at all.

After putting their heads together, the three girls come up with a bold idea. Appearing before Yonosuke in swimsuits, they press him with a tempting question: “Don’t you want to go to the beach?” What will Yonosuke do when faced with this unexpected summer surprise?

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!
