Oriko to Nattsun

Amano Oriko and Koike Natsuo are two twenty-year-old female college students whose appearances constantly betray their true ages. Natsuo, remarkably short in stature, is frequently mistaken for an elementary school child, while the towering Oriko is often assumed to be a handsome young man. Despite the stark contrast in their physical builds and the daily misunderstandings they face from the outside world, the two share an unshakable bond built on mutual care and deep affection. As a spin-off of Dekoboko Girlish, this story explores the enduring friendship and quiet perseverance of two young women navigating early adulthood together. Having recently begun living under the same roof, Oriko and Natsuo must adjust to the intimate realities of sharing a home while continuing to support one another through everyday challenges. Though they may not look like typical college students to passersby, their connection transcends outward appearances. To each other, they mean more than anything else in the world, proving that true companionship is found not in how others see you, but in the unwavering devotion shared between kindred spirits.
