Nanami-kun on the Slope

"My childhood friend became a national idol." For Nanami Kazuki, that seemingly melancholic line marks where his youth takes an unexpected turn—and accelerates upward. Resolved to keep pace with her, he dedicates himself to becoming a manga artist, steadily climbing the steep slope called "life." Years later, he achieves his dream as a popular creator. Yet, to his bewilderment, he discovers that somewhere along the way, he has become the reluctant center of attention for a peculiar group of "slope-themed" idol girls who simply won't leave him alone. Also known as: My Childhood Friend Story is Definitely Wrong, Oh No, I'm Surrounded by Beautiful Girl Idols, and Why Do I Have So Many Childhood Friends?
