Synopsis
Ryou, an otaku third-year student, deals with Asahi-chan, his teasing younger childhood friend who is shy, lonely, and dishonest.
Ryou is a third-year high school student who is enjoying his otaku life to the fullest, but one girl is giving him a headache. She's Asahi-chan, a cheeky childhood friend two years younger than him who attends the same high school! Even though Asahi-chan is his junior, she always teases and teases Ryou! And yet, when someone teases her, she is at a loss for words and makes a defeated face. She is also a cute girl who has few friends, is shy, and not very honest. Today, he has to teach this cheeky Asahi-chan a lesson! (Source: Kodansha, translated)
