Synopsis
Yuusei pretends to hate his gifted best friend Itsuki to suppress his confusing feelings.
Yuusei insists he hates his best friend—or at least, that's what he tells himself. Itsuki, his gifted, charming, and impossibly talented friend, seems to be wasting his potential. After all, Itsuki could easily get into any prestigious university or join any sports team, yet he chooses to spend his time with Yuusei. Struggling with feelings he can't quite understand, Yuusei pretends to despise Itsuki, hoping it will help him overcome his emotions or, at the very least, distance himself from the one person who means so much. But is pretending enough to change Yuusei's heart? And what about Itsuki's feelings? (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)
