Onyanoko Darling

Ritsu has always harbored a deep resentment toward Kanzaki, her classmate at cram school. No matter how hard she tries, he consistently manages to outshine her in every subject and endeavor, making him an unbearable rival in her eyes. To escape the frustration of their constant academic competition, Ritsu finds comfort in her close bond with Yuuna, her beautiful and beloved best friend. Yuuna is everything Ritsu admires, providing a much-needed source of happiness amid her daily struggles with Kanzaki. Their ordinary routine takes an unexpected turn when someone asks the two girls whether they have feelings for any particular boy. While Ritsu might be expected to deny any romantic interest, Yuuna shocks everyone by admitting that there is indeed a boy she likes. This surprising confession immediately sends Ritsu’s mind racing with anxious questions. Could the object of Yuuna’s affection possibly be Kanzaki? The very thought is distressing enough, but it also seems completely impossible—because there is a crucial detail about Yuuna that makes such a scenario unthinkable. Now, Ritsu must grapple with this baffling revelation and uncover the truth behind her best friend's mysterious crush.
