My Capricorn friend
山羊座の友人
Synopsis
Quiet observer Yuuya receives future murder clues and must decide whether to help bullied classmate Naoto before October 2.
Yuuya Matsuda has always been a quiet observer, watching from the sidelines as his classmate Naoto Wakatsuki endures relentless bullying at school. Like everyone else, Yuuya fears crossing Akira Kaneshiro—the source of Naoto's torment—whose reputation for violence keeps the entire class in line. One day, strange objects begin appearing on Yuuya's balcony, as if dropped from nowhere. Among them is a weathered newspaper clipping that seems to be from the future, bearing ominous headlines about a murder that will occur by October 2. Yuuya dismisses it as a prank—until a chance encounter with Naoto forces him to reconsider everything he thought he knew. When Yuuya makes a decision that will change both their lives forever, he finds himself drawn into a complex web of secrets and moral dilemmas. As the days count down toward October 2, Yuuya must confront difficult questions about justice, friendship, and what it truly means to stand up for someone else.
