A Childhood Friend Told Me “I Can’t Get a Boyfriend Because of You,” So I Distanced Myself From Her and She Stopped Coming to School the Next Day

“Because of Rei, everyone gives up, don’t they?” Hearing such words, I thought to myself. –I thought that Natsuki could not fall in love because I was her “childhood friend” and naturally stood next to her. So I suggested that we go our separate ways from now on. Natsuki did not pull me back. She must have been relieved that the intruder had finally left her alone. –But the next day, she did not come to school. This is the start of a funny and sweetly romantic comedy of differences between the insensitive protagonist, Shiraishi Rei, and his awkward childhood friend, Shinohara Natsuki!
