【First volume to be published on 11/20 by Fujimi Fantasia Bunko】 High school sophomore, Tooru Y仓, has a childhood friend, Rin Asakura, who is academically excellent, athletically gifted, cool, and a bit sharp-tongued. I have been in love with Rin for a long time, but due to the distance of being childhood friends, I couldn't take action and spent my days in frustration. However, one day, Rin started to become more proactive. She started inviting me to movies, serving me homemade meals, and even hugging me at home. As we spent such days together, the distance between us, which had never changed before, gradually began to close –. This is a sweet and frustrating romantic comedy about a not-so-straightforward childhood friend. ◇ It became the number 1 in daily and weekly rankings, and number 2 in the monthly ranking (by genre). It concluded on 4/10. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the readers who have supported me. On 8/20, I started posting the epilogue.
