Pure Love Nostalgic

During their elementary school days, Hideki, Mahiro, Mike, and Soma were inseparable, spending their afternoons immersed in imaginative games where they played make-believe heroes. In their childhood adventures, Hideki always took on the role of the hero, while Mahiro acted as his trusty sidekick and police girl. Mike eagerly embraced the part of the villain, and Soma played the helpless hostage. As the years passed, the four friends gradually drifted apart, leaving those nostalgic memories behind. However, fate brings them back together when they reunite at a mutual acquaintance’s wedding. Now navigating adulthood, Mahiro, Mike, and Soma begin meeting up occasionally for drinks to rekindle their old bond. Yet Hideki consistently fails to attend these gatherings, much to Mahiro’s growing disappointment. The mystery deepens when Mahiro unexpectedly catches Hideki secretly following one of Mahiro’s coworkers. Driven by confusion, Mahiro demands answers—why is Hideki stalking this colleague, and why is he suddenly trying to recruit Mahiro to assist him? Adding further charm to the collection, this volume also features an additional story focusing on roommates Mike and Soma, who currently share a home as platonic friends without benefits, though that arrangement may not last forever.
