Haiena-chan ni Nerawarete

When word reaches him that his long-distance girlfriend has taken up with an older boyfriend from the city, the protagonist finds himself adrift in the wreckage of a romance that ended without him even being there to see it happen. The distance that once seemed like a manageable obstacle has become an uncrossable divide, and he sinks into despair, left to nurse a heartbreak with no closure and no one to lean on. Just as the loneliness threatens to swallow him whole, an unexpected figure appears before him: Haibara Enako, a girl better known by her peculiar nickname, "Hyena-chan." Without preamble or hesitation, she delivers a startlingly blunt confession — she has no boyfriend, and she is free right now. Her candor lands at precisely the moment he is most vulnerable, cutting through his misery with a directness that is as disarming as it is strange. In the wake of betrayal and abandonment, this odd, forthright girl's sudden declaration may prove to be the lifeline he never knew he needed.
