"Hey Kuroya-kun, you like me, right?" "H-How did you know!?" For an introverted high school boy like Kuroya, revealing his unrequited love would be an embarrassment worse than death.

Even as they spend time together in the literature club, he tried to keep his feelings hidden, but then...! Senpai asks the despairing Kuroya, "So── for now, as a trial, would you like to go out with me?" No way. I didn't think it was possible to have a mutual relationship with her!? This isn't really happening── It's a romantic comedy full of sweet flirtation and sadistic teasing from the senpai of your dreams! (Source: SB Creative, translated)
