You Can't Be in a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!

Freshman year of high school follows Sakai Yonosuke, also known as Eiyu, a boy who lives for rom-coms—especially those centered on childhood friendships. Though he has two childhood companions, Shio and Akari, he has resigned himself to the belief that romance will never become real. Unknown to him, both girls secretly harbor feelings for him. This lighthearted will-they-or-won't-they rom-com explores friendship, love, and first crushes.
