Synopsis
Eeyuu, a high school boy, has a problem! Two childhood friends "Shio" and "Akari" who go to the same high school are too cute! If they find out that I'm the only one looking sexually at them now that they've grown up, even though I have no intention of doing so... that would be too much! On the other hand, the two childhood friends also have their own secrets...? It's so awkward! It's complicated! But childhood friends are the best! A sweet and impatient love triangle love comedy where you can't be honest!
