Childhood friendships are put to the test as unrequited feelings and hidden secrets spark a tangled web of emotions. Hilarious misunderstandings and awkward encounters ensue, threatening to upend lifelong relationships. If you love witty, coming-of-age rom-coms, this is unmissable.

Eeyuu, a high school boy, has a problem! Two childhood friends "Shio" and "Akari" who go to the same high school are too cute! If they find out that I'm the only one looking sexually at them now that they've grown up, even though I have no intention of doing so... that would be too much! On the other hand, the two childhood friends also have their own secrets...? It's so awkward! It's complicated! But childhood friends are the best! A sweet and impatient love triangle love comedy where you can't be honest! (Source: Kodansha, translated)
