The Romcom Where The Childhood Friend Won't Lose!

In this romantic comedy, my childhood friend Shida Kuroha appears to have a crush on me. She lives right next door—petite, adorable, and full of energy. With her warm, nurturing personality, she fits the classic Onee-san archetype perfectly. However, my heart already belongs to someone else: Kachi Shirokusa, our school’s stunning idol and a celebrated young author. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t stand a chance with someone like her, yet she always goes out of her way to chat with me on our way home, flashing that dazzling smile. Could it be that I really have a shot with her? What do you think—am I reading too much into it, or is there something there? The tension between childhood affection and newfound love makes every encounter unpredictable. Kuroha’s persistent kindness contrasts sharply with Shirokusa’s elusive charm, leaving me torn. Will friendship or passion win in the end? The stakes feel higher with each passing day, and I can’t help but wonder where this love triangle will lead.
