The Protagonist's Childhood Friend Is Coming on Strong to Me, a Mob

There’s a guy at my high school who’s just like the protagonist of a romantic comedy. He’s nothing special, yet for some reason, he's wildly popular with all the pretty girls. That guy’s romantic comedy turns out to be my downfall. I was falsely accused for a crime I didn’t commit, I lost everything, and I took my own life out of despair. But then, a miracle occurred, and I reawakened back to the morning of my freshman orientation two years ago. With this second chance I’ve been given, I will definitely stand up for myself in this crazy rom-com world—. “Kazuki Ishii, I love you. Let’s get married.” What the hell!? Meiko Hikata — the protagonist’s childhood friend and secret crush — is confessing her feelings to me!!?? She’s known as the “Ice Empress” at school, but for some reason, she’s coming on strong to me…! Wait a minute — you don’t actually like me, do you!?
