Risou no Kareshi no Hazu nano ni

Surrounded by happy couples throughout the hallways of her high school, Chiori cannot help but feel a growing sense of envy. While her classmates enjoy the thrill of romance, she remains on the sidelines, quietly longing for someone to confess their feelings to her so she can finally experience having a boyfriend of her own. The desire for that quintessential teenage love weighs heavily on her mind, leaving her wistful every time she witnesses another romantic confession unfold before her eyes. Unable to keep her feelings to herself any longer, she confides in Issei, a boy who has been by her side since childhood. She openly admits her wish to be confessed to and to start dating someone. Rather than offering simple advice or brushing off her concerns, Issei responds with an unexpected and straightforward proposal: he asks why they do not simply date each other. Caught off guard yet deeply moved by his willingness to step into that role, Chiori finds her long-held wish suddenly within reach. What begins as a candid conversation between lifelong friends quickly transforms into something entirely new, launching them into the dreamlike reality of navigating high school life together as an official couple.
