You Can't Be in a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends! (幼馴染とはラブコメにならない)

Campus Store

I've got this childhood friend.

That's him, and he loves rom-coms.

I'm so curious.

I love you, Onii-chan!

I'm so curious! So, so, so, so curious!

What does he think about her after what she said to him?!

There better not be anything sketchy happening between them!

Hey, if you have something to say, just say it!

Huh? What are you talking about?

You've been staring at me all morning, too, weren't you?

N-No I wasn't! Why would I do that?!

Seriously?! Self-absorbed much?!

I came here to buy some bread!

Loud, much?

H-Hold up!

What now?

Are you serious?

Are you really going for that?!

E-Extra extra hot curry bread?

Wait, I...

Stay calm!

It's not too late to put that down.

Why are you approaching me like that?

Like I said...

No! If I put it back, it's like I'm admitting that I was following him!

I-I'm free to buy what I want!

I'm in the mood for something spicy!

You don't understand!

You're gonna die!

Die?!

The spiciness hits as if you're drinking sulfuric acid!

What?!

I've had a bite before, and it was no joke.

Everyone who tried it has had to go home early.

EXTRA EXTRA HOT

Some say their butt swelled up the next morning!

But you know all that, right? Since you're here for it.

I-I'm fully aware!

Don't do it!

It's gonna mess you up!

Akari, you've always been too stubborn to admit how you really feel.

Haunted House

I told you to wait.

Huh?!

You're gonna toss it after one bite, so you might as well save your mo—

I'm not an idiot.

Of course I can finish it!

Thank you. Here's your change.

The spices drifting through the air are already spicy.

Microwaved It

Microwaved It

I can't do this.

I can't even handle level 1 heat at restaurants...

Don't sacrifice your body for this!

Eat melon bread instead!

Be quiet!

Ugh, don't give me that "I can't do it" look.

It's not too late to change your mind!

It's all over once you take that first bite!

Don't underestimate me!

Oh?

It's actually... pretty—

Come on. Hand it over!

EXTRA EXTRA HOT

Not... yet...

What the heck am I doing?

I'm always choosing to be stubborn...

Not being able to say my true feelings...

Akari?

Don't force it!

Something's really off with you today.

I'll get you some water! No, is milk better?

I'll be right back!

But...

I don't want to lose!

Watch me...

Watch me...

finish it!

finish it!

See? I finished it.

Sorry.

I didn't think you could pull it off.

That was impressive, Akari.

Yeah... sure...

Hey... I can actually do it after all!

I like... Eiyu...

Spicy food's... not so bad!

Oh... Y-Yeah!

I'm glad you got through it.

It's really not my thing...

I feel... hot...

What?!

Akari!

Hey! Get a hold of yourself, Akari!

By the next day, the extra extra hot curry bread was taken away.

I'll get you some milk!

Don't die, Akari!

Finals are over!

It's almost summer break!

I've noticed that I have feelings for my childhood friends.

That was a piece of cake, huh?

I got my highest score ever!

Same here!

This means I can really let loose this summer.

But this really isn't the time to think about them!

Hey! Are you two free this summer break?

Eiyu?

Oh?

Where'd he go?

Onii-chan, welcome back!

Look, look!

I got perfect scores on everything!

Th-That's really impressive, Runako.

Impressive? You think so?!

Praise me more!

Sorry, I can't right now.

Huh?

This is bad.

Distracting Thought 1

Distracting Thought 2

Is it because I've been too caught up in distracting thoughts lately?

They were acting like it was no big deal.

Yeah... This is really bad!

I can't be messing around this year!

I can't possibly be dumber than them!

I'd rather die!

That's why he's been cooped up in his room for three days?

Yeah, so I've been really bored.

Were his grades that bad this time?

Well, it's his loss.

Let's make plans without him.

But won't you miss him, Akari-chan?

N-Not really...

You're working hard, aren't you?

Y-You must be tired!

Come on, chat with us!

Hey Shio! Give me some space! I'll fall.

I can't scoot any further, Akarin!

What are you all doing?

Y-You've been at it for a while, Eiyu.

So we thought we'd bug you to take a break.

I'm fine.

What?!

Come on, it's only just a minute!

We wanna make summer plans!

Stop!

Are you a mountain person or a beach person?

I said, stop!

What's with you?

Were your grades that bad?

Th-They weren't that bad...

So there's no use cramming at this point, is there?

It's not like you're suddenly going to get smarter.

Leave me alone!

Consistency is what matters!

Consistency?!

So you're telling me that taking one day off would undo all of your progress?!

That's enough, you two!

Just leave me alone!

Gosh!

Come, come.

Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper...

Okay, Onii-chan.

Study all you want.

What?

You're the one missing out, you know!

Lame!

Enjoy your pathetic summer break.

You've got this, Onii-chan.

Pathetic?

Are you kidding me?

You don't know what it's like to be me!

I can't stand alongside you two...

unless I've got something going for me!

Poke, poke.

Ignore, ignore.

Poke, poke.

Ignore, ignore!

Poke, poke, poke, poke.

Can't you see I'm study—

Don't you wanna go to the beach?

Swim, swim!
