A cute, caring, and busty childhood friend in a mutual love. Shatter that illusion!... more>>

New semester of the second year.

I ended up in the same class as two interesting individuals.

The boy's name is Iizuka Masato.

An introverted loner. In class, it's unclear what he's thinking, perhaps trying to appear aloof by building walls around himself.

The girl's name is Suzumiya Kiyoka.

Fairly cute, with breasts quite assertive.

She seems quiet, always chatting cheerfully with her female friends.

What's interesting about these two is that I often hear rumors that they're childhood friends and are dating.

However, upon closer observation, they don't seem to be dating at all.

Iizuka acts arrogant and boyfriend-like only in front of Suzumiya.

In contrast, Suzumiya seems bothered.

Usually, Iizuka is the only one initiating conversations, while Suzumiya rarely speaks to him and shows no signs of paying attention to him.

Yet, the classmates around them believe the two are close and dating.

I was enjoying observing these two, but somehow I, who was supposed to be just a bystander, got caught up in their commotion. That kind of romantic comedy. <<less

Sorry, but you won’t be finding a plot summary here. This is not a novel. If you’re looking for a plot twist, surprise reversal, or punch line, you won’t find one. This is an old story of a past event that has long ended. It happened 10 years ago, and my memory of it all is admittedly pretty vague, and we won’t be speculating about the future, either. I certainly can’t recommend this for entertainment value, but there is one thing I can definitively say.... more>>
