Shujinkou no Osananajimi ga, Wakiyaku no Ore ni Guigui Kuru

At my high school, there is a boy who seems to live inside his own romantic comedy. Despite being entirely unremarkable, he inexplicably draws the attention of every beautiful girl around him. Unfortunately, his story became my tragedy. Falsely accused of a crime I never committed, I was stripped of everything I had until despair finally drove me to end my own life. Yet, against all odds, a miracle granted me a second chance. I opened my eyes to find myself back on the morning of my freshman orientation, two years before my downfall. Armed with the knowledge of what is to come, I am determined to protect myself and survive this absurd rom-com world on my own terms. My resolve, however, is immediately thrown into chaos. Meiko Hikata—the protagonist’s childhood friend and the object of his secret affection—suddenly confesses her love to me and asks for my hand in marriage. Known throughout the school as the untouchable Ice Empress, she is now aggressively pursuing me without any hesitation. Caught completely off guard by her intense advances, I am left with one bewildering question: could it be possible that she genuinely has feelings for me?
