This "love" is not "fake." This is a realistic love story, with all the awkwardness and anxieties of college students in the Reiwa era. Terada Yu, a lonely college boy, has a past he'd like to forget. On his way home one winter night, he runs into Fujimiya Hikari, a pretty and popular junior who is shivering in the park, and he lets her stay over at his place for the night. Ever since then, Hikari comes to his house regularly, and they begin to form a warm and peaceful relationship together. "I love you, Yu." Their eyes meet, as the distance between them close. The voice in his head tells him that this is the "normal" time for a kiss right now. Those feelings would be "fake" if he refuses. And yet — "I'm sorry, Fujimiya. I don't think I'm ready for a 'normal' love affair." The most clumsy and frustrating love story in the history of the Overlap Bunko Awards begins here.
