I Was Rejected by a Childhood Friend, so Next Time I’d Like to Be at a Good Distance With Girls and Not Misunderstand

I – Orikawa Hisanobu and her – Shijonawate Rinen had been childhood friends since long time ago with our houses next to each other, and we had been keeping half distance from each other in a conventional way. In order to blow it out of the water, in the last summer of junior high school, I confessed my feelings to my childhood friend who was like family to me, in order to take a step forward from the relationship we had had so far. However, the childhood friend’s response to my confession was to reject me, saying that I am not her boyfriend because we are family.

Depressed, the protagonist throws himself into his studies and new hobbies to fill the empty time he has left, and is able to enroll in a high school above his parents’ school. While trying to jump into a new school with a fresh start, he meets a different type of girl from his childhood friend and is confronted with a new way of thinking about himself and his relationship with them. There are three new classmates at the high school: a young lady named Suminodo Ageha, a wild classmate named Namazue Yuisa who wears her hair blonde as soon as she enters the school, and Marumiya Kasane, the head of the photography club who is always pushing him around. and his childhood friend, Shijonawate Rinen, who is a friend of mine.

I wonder how I should deal with them, and they smile at me when I point the camera at them. High school life begins, where obsession, jealousy, and tenderness intersect.
