Episode 8 Story

On the day of the fireworks festival, Shio Minamo and Akari Hiodoshi leave Yonosuke Sakai in confusion after telling him, “Choose one of us,” and “We’ll be waiting,” before specifying their respective meeting spots and walking away.

Trying to calm himself down, Yonosuke heads to a quiet place with few people around. There, he unexpectedly runs into Akari. To make matters worse, he ends up being mistaken for a groper.

Then, a phone call comes in from Shio, who tells him she can no longer make it. “Go have fun with Akari, just the two of you! Enjoy the fireworks!” she says. What on earth happened to Shio?

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!
