Class no Tenshi ni Kokutta Kekka

Mikomori-san is the angel of the classroom—soft-spoken, endlessly gentle, and graced with a smile warm enough to melt any heart. To the protagonist, she has long been far more than just a classmate, and at last he gathers every ounce of his courage to confess his feelings to her directly. In the moments leading up to it, he dares to imagine what might follow: the true beginning of his days with the girl he adores, a fresh new chapter in which the two of them finally grow closer. With someone so kind and angelic waiting on the other side of his confession, surely his feelings will be received exactly as he hopes. Then her reply comes—and it is nothing like anything he expected. Mikomori-san's shocking answer upends every assumption he carried into that moment, setting the stage for a story that is only just beginning to unfold. Because for these two, a confession was never meant to be the goal at all. It is only the very beginning.
