Last Bell: I Woke Up as the Game’s Final Boss, and the Boy I Left Came Back to My School

Yuzuru kept his face calm while the school board put his name back on the wall, because everyone thought he was only a dropout who came home late. He was really the final boss from a game he had already beaten, with the next heroes and their best moves fixed in his head. That should have made him safe. It only made him lonely. When Kurosawa Shun came back into the same halls, Yuzuru had to face the boy he left behind, the ghostly promise he broke, and the reason he ran in the first place. The small chipped cup on his shelf, the taped glasses in the corridor locker, and the broken comb on his table all still waited for a hand that had once chosen fear over love.
