Farewell, My Firsts: How My Heartless Childhood Friend Stole All My First Experiences One Bet at a Time

“I hate her. She says she hates me. So why am I still drawn to her?” This is a love story featuring a cunningly brilliant girl and an ordinary one who refuses to accept defeat. Komaki has been Wakaba’s closest friend since childhood, admired by everyone as a flawless beauty who is kind, athletic, and intelligent. Yet Wakaba knows the truth beneath that perfect exterior: Komaki is cruel, malicious, and condescending. Determined to prove that Komaki isn’t as exceptional as she seems, Wakaba challenges her to a bet based on their midterm exam scores. Although the wager was Wakaba’s idea, it was Komaki who insisted they stake their dignity on the outcome. When Wakaba loses, Komaki declares that from now on, every lost bet will cost Wakaba one of her precious first experiences. It begins with her first kiss, and with each subsequent loss, Wakaba discovers unfamiliar emotions stirring within her. She may despise Komaki, but these new feelings leave her confused. What exactly is this sensation, and why does Komaki want her so intensely?
