Chouchou Nannan

From the moment they instantly connected at their school's entrance ceremony, Aoi, Chihiro, Nao, and their fourth companion settled into a vibrant daily routine. For these four friends, romance was never part of the equation. Instead, their shared school life was defined by boisterous laughter, endless energy, and the simple joy of being together in each other's company. Beneath this carefree surface, however, Aoi quietly struggles with an unspoken truth. She harbors deep romantic feelings for Chihiro but keeps them carefully concealed, unwilling to disrupt the easy dynamic that binds their group. Despite her best efforts to hide her emotions, her subtle shifts in mood do not go unnoticed. Nao, ever perceptive, begins to recognize the quiet weight Aoi carries whenever Chihiro is near. Determined to lift her friend's spirits, Nao takes a bold and unexpected step by offering Aoi a kiss meant purely as a gesture of comfort. Rather than easing the tension, this impulsive act of affection shatters the group's innocent equilibrium. What began as a lighthearted friendship suddenly spirals into emotional uncertainty, leaving Aoi to navigate a tangled web of hidden desires, shifting boundaries, and complicated feelings she never anticipated.
