Ready for another overly dramatic episode about high school life? Boy, I can’t wait! Continue reading →

When we last left off, Akine had introduced herself to Koyuki. Why is this important? She’s related to a girl that our MC had had issues with in middle school.

Bro, I’ve never wanted to become friends with someone for their looks. From my perspective, this is such a weird thing to say to someone you’ve never talked to. Miki even admits that she has little in common with her classmates, so what is she getting out of this? The appearance of being friendly? Does that make you happy?
