You Can't Be in a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!
Osananajimi to wa Love Comedy ni Naranai
Yonosuke Sakai has two childhood friends who are very dear to him: Shio Minamo and Akari Hiodoshi. As they've grown older, he begins to view them differently, often recognizing romantic moments that unfold in their everyday lives. Although it feels like they’re caught in a romantic comedy at times, he finds it challenging to preserve their childhood friendships. To add to the complexity, other girls from Yonosuke's past reappear, also fitting into those familiar romantic scenarios, much to his dismay.
