2026 · 1 season, 12 episodes · Animation, Comedy · TV Tokyo, TV Aichi · Japan · Rated M (AU)
High school freshman Sakai Yonosuke, aka Eiyu, is obsessed with rom-coms, especially ones about childhood friends. But even though he has two childhood friends of his own—Shio and Akari—he's sadly given up on romance becoming a reality. Little does he know, both girls have the hots for him! A humorous will-they-or-won't-they rom-com about friendship, love, and first crushes!
