Watashi de Doutei Suteta Kuse ni

Kota and Sakura were raised together like siblings, sharing a bond far deeper than ordinary friendship. Convinced by those around them that they made the perfect couple, the two decided to try dating. However, genuine romantic feelings never blossomed between them. Despite this failed experiment—and the fact that their physical intimacy went all the way—Sakura frequently teases Kota about it with a playful grin. Yet beneath her lighthearted jabs, their comfortable, easygoing dynamic remains entirely unchanged. Everything shifts when Kota discovers that Sakura has won a prestigious novel prize. Stunned by this hidden talent in the childhood friend he believed he knew completely, he is suddenly thrust into a new world of complications involving Ui, the school’s notorious problem child. As Kota works to resolve the mounting troubles surrounding Ui, the familiar boundaries between him and Sakura begin to blur. Through these unexpected challenges, the relationship they once took for granted gradually transforms into something neither of them could have anticipated.
