When Haruki Asano was in middle school, he once got into a fight with some upperclassmen.

On top of that, because of his sharp gaze and naturally brown hair, he was treated like a delinquent and became isolated at school.

Among all this, only his childhood friend Shiho Fukase always cared about him.

Haruki put effort into his entrance exam studies, motivated solely by the desire to respond to Shiho’s words inviting him to attend the same high school.

For Haruki, being isolated at school wasn’t a problem.

That’s because Shiho had always been by his side since long ago…

However, once they reached their third year, Shiho’s attitude started to become distant.

They began going to and from school separately, and she stopped talking to him at school altogether.

Haruki, feeling that Shiho’s heart was drifting away from him, grew anxious.

He wanted to talk to her. He wanted to see her smiling face.

So he headed to the gymnasium where she was doing club activities, hoping to walk home together with her…

But there, what Haruki heard was Shiho’s voice happily chatting with her club friends — speaking ill of him.

At that moment, Haruki’s feelings and trust toward Shiho… completely vanished.

Let me say, I did not read every chapter for reasons I'll explain in detail below, but the core story of Haruki, Endou, and Shiho is 10/10 phenomenal.

Now for the reason I didn't read every chapter: the core story is only 2-3 chapters every 10 chapters or so and sometimes not even a full chapter is dedicated to the three.

This author wrote an absolute banger of a short story about navigating first loves, grief, trauma, and love in general and then decided to pad it out with filler and fluff.... more>> Don't get me wrong the filler/fluff is still better than most novels (seriously this author is good), but when the core story is 10/10 but the fluff, despite being a 7 or 8, is wholey irrelevant it makes you just want to skip ahead. Please know that when I say "the core story is 10/10" I genuinely mean that you'll read the same scene for the third time but it's from a different member of the main trio each time and still find yourself completely immersed in the story. Unlike many of these novels, the repeats aren't set every 2-3 chapters, they're every 10 or so and just perfection even coming from someone who did read them effectively every 2-3 chapters.

Please do yourself a favor and read this novel if you've made it this far.

Slight spoilers on the love triangle tag:

Spoiler

Shiho remains in love with Haruki from ch1 to ch 41. Haruki remains in love with Shiho from ch1 to ch3, but reconnects with her in Uni to rebuild their friendship. Endou and Haruki fall in love with each other over the course of the novel. It's a bittersweet happy ending.
