“I’m going home with Yoshiki today!”
“Hey, don’t decide that on your own!?”
“No good?”
“It’s fine, but…”
“Then it’s fine!”
Yuzuha poked my chest and started walking beside me as if nothing had happened.
This gyaru is too free-spirited.
Feeling the gazes of Yuzuha’s gyaru group, I kept quiet for a while, but as soon as we turned the corner, I blurted out:
“You know, it’s because you do things like this that people around us misunderstand!? It’s your fault everyone thinks we’re dating!?”
Yuzuha grinned at my complaint.… Read the rest

Girls I Was Close to Loving Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 1
Chapter 2: The Girl Who Was Once Nice
My first encounter with Yuuka Hanazono was in the spring of my third year of middle school.
After a failed confession attempt, I found myself in the odd situation of becoming isolated from those around me starting from my third year of middle school. I was searching for a place to find solace outside of school.
But I was certain that place wasn’t cram school.
Why? Because cram school was a drag.
What was a drag? Everything.
I knew I had to study.
I understood … Read the rest

…I didn’t expect to feel this happy just from exchanging jokes after so long.
I waited a few seconds, but Hanazono didn’t seem about to speak.
Unable to wait for the silence to break, I spoke up.
“Hey, Hanazono.”
“Yes?”
“You used to make jokes like that occasionally before, but no one in class knows about it, right?”
“Ah… yeah. They don’t know. Some people might find it unpleasant, so I’m careful about it.”
“Why do you make those jokes with me then?”
“Haha, it’s funny you say ‘make.’ Do you … Read the rest

“Oh, s-sorry”
“Why are you apologizing?”
“No… it’s nothing”
“…Hehe. Yosshi, you’re weird”
Hanazono laughed softly.
My heart skipped a beat.
…She’s as cute as ever.
If Yuzuha is what you’d call a gyaru—or rather, the beautiful type—then Hanazono’s appearance is the opposite of hers.
Yuzuha’s looks sometimes give off an unapproachable aura.
While I admire her edgy fashion of wearing a hoodie over her uniform, it’s true that it led to some misunderstandings back in middle school.
In contrast, Hanazono has a gentle atmosphere, and she’s rumored to have a lovable quality that makes all the boys want to … Read the rest

“Yes.”
A voice as serene as a droplet falling onto a still water surface spread through the classroom.
I abruptly stopped myself from talking to Takeru.
Whenever she spoke up in class, the atmosphere clearly changed.
When Yuzuha spoke in front of everyone, the air became cheerful, but this was a different kind of atmosphere.
I want to hear every word she says.
Perhaps because many students felt this way, everyone’s behavior became noticeably quieter.
In the daily life of our class, probably only she could create this kind of atmosphere.

Chapter 1: “Getting Along Well” – The First Hurdle of Romance
“Hahaha, Yoshiki, you’re way too cynical!”
“That’s harsh! Isn’t everyone thinking the same thing?!”
Yuzuha Yui, sitting in front of me and I couldn’t help but raise my voice.
It had been a month since we started high school.
It was early May, just before morning homeroom.
Yuzuha had brought up the topic of romance, and we were discussing how to judge if someone was “getting along well” with you.
For Yuzuha, even thinking about it seemed troublesome.
“Eh, I just sense it instinctively~”
Yuzuha chuckled softly.
Yuzuha … Read the rest
Girls I Was Close to Loving Volume 1 Prologue
Prologue
Let me ask you something—have you ever had a “good vibe” with a girl?
I wouldn’t know.
You can’t decide something like that on your own.
But, if I could judge it purely based on my own feelings, I’d say “yes.”
I’m sure there are plenty of guys who, if allowed to rely entirely on their own perspective, would think they had a “good thing” going with a girl at some point.
But if the next question was, “Did anything progress from there?” then the number of guys who could say yes … Read the rest
