It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

She was just a little insecure about her 'terribly bad' figure.

After all, things are really peaceful now.

She's skinny and tiny, like she hasn't even developed yet.

After shrinking, the knitted sweater that my sister thought was too small looked like a coat on her.

She's already in her second year of high school, and she'll be graduating and getting married in a year, but she's not as well-developed as many junior high students. It's infuriating!

Iura Hide was unaware that he had just hit Yoshikawa Yuki's sore spot. After all, to a guy who likes anime, being a little flat isn't a big deal, right?

Seeing that Yoshikawa Yuki seemed a little angry again, he was at a loss for what to do and could only awkwardly try to change the subject.

Fortunately, Toru Ishikawa happened to see them at that moment and walked over.

"Hi, Xiu, Yoshikawa, good morning!"

Upon hearing Ishikawa Toru's voice, Yoshikawa Yuki immediately stood up straight and gave Iura Hide a disgruntled look.

"It's all this guy's fault! He ruined my image!"

Iura Hide understood her gaze and couldn't help but widen his eyes innocently.

"Is this my fault too?"

"Hmph! It's all your fault!"

Yoshikawa Yuki snorted coldly, clearly annoyed.

Although she is usually lively, she is also very well-behaved and ladylike!

It's only when joking with Hide Iura, this 'human husky,' that I always lose control.

Now that Ishikawa Toru has seen this, her score in Ishikawa Toru's heart will probably drop again, right?

Even though Yoshikawa Yuki knew that Ishikawa Toru liked her best friend Hori Kyoko and didn't like her at all, she still felt a pang of sadness at the thought.

On the other hand, Hidekazu Iura wasn't as sentimental or thoughtful as her.

"Good morning! Tou~ It's surprising to see a good student like you arriving this late!"

Hideki Iura greeted Toru Ishikawa with a smile.

They had been classmates and good friends since elementary school, so they naturally spoke quite casually.

And don't let Ishikawa Toru's strong physique and somewhat fierce appearance fool you. He looks a bit like a delinquent when he's not smiling, but he's actually a very simple, straightforward, and easy-going guy. He has a very easygoing personality and is kind and gentle to everyone. Plus, he's quite good at studying, so he's actually quite popular at school.

"Last night when I went to the supermarket, I won a few karaoke coupons, so I was thinking of inviting Kyoko and everyone to go sing karaoke together. But I ended up sleeping a little late."

Ishikawa Toru scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, but still frankly explained why he had gotten up late.

This is actually not surprising.

Iura Hide was his best friend, and besides, everyone in the school already knew that he liked Hori Kyoko, so there was nothing to hide.

As for Yoshikawa Yuki

He also wanted Yoshikawa Yuki to help persuade Hori Kyoko.

"That idiot! He's hopelessly slow-witted!"

Iura Shu couldn't help but want to cover his face.

However, the thought that even someone as emotionally oblivious and less handsome as himself could have a girl as cute as Yoshikawa Yuki like him and eventually get together with her made him feel depressed.

"Does one have to be emotionally oblivious to become the male protagonist of a two-dimensional romance anime and have girls like him?"

Then Iura Hide thought of Miyamura Izumi.

The male protagonist, Izumi Miyamura, is just as oblivious to romance as Toru Ishikawa, yet he manages to win the heart of the female protagonist, Kyoko Hori, and the two quickly become a couple.

This is so enviable, it makes me feel unbalanced.

"Should I pretend to be emotionally oblivious too?"

Iura Hide glanced at Ishikawa Toru, who looked completely 'silly', and then decisively abandoned the idea.

Forget it, he just can't bring himself to play dumb!

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Yoshikawa Yuki's eyes had dimmed considerably after hearing this. He could only mentally complain while awkwardly changing the subject.

"Even if you invite Hori-san, she probably won't agree, since she rarely participates in these kinds of events, right?"

"Let's hurry up and go, or we'll really be late."

Chapter 2: Cautious Probing

Hey! Why are you running? Wait for us!

"Idiot, youth is about running wild, don't you understand?"

"Who said that?"

"As the lyrics say~"

"I knew it!"

The three of them ran to the shoe cabinet to change their shoes, and by the time they stopped, even Ishikawa Toru, who was in good physical condition, was already panting heavily.

Only Iura Hide himself remained unfazed, showing no signs of distress or shortness of breath, as if nothing had happened.

"You should really live in Siberia!" Yoshikawa Yuki couldn't help but retort.

At first, the three of them were in the same class, but when they were reassigned to different classes after the last exam, Yoshikawa Yuki was separated from them.

Yoshikawa Yuki and Hori Kyoko are now in the same class, along with the male protagonist, Miyamura Izumi.

Ishikawa Toru was in the same class as him, along with the student council president Sengoku Sho and student council member Kono Sakura.

"Good morning, Sengoku, Kono!"

"Morning, Ishikawa, Iura."

At the back door of the classroom, Iura Hide and Ishikawa Toru, who had run all the way, bumped into Sengoku Sho and Kono Sakura, who were carrying documents and discussing something as they walked.

With his red hair and tall, thin frame, Xian Shixiang remained the same, always sporting a cold and aloof demeanor.

Iura Shu glanced at him briefly before looking at Kono Sakura beside him.

"Good morning, Iura-kun and Ishikawa-kun."

Their eyes met.

Kono Sakura's lips involuntarily curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

This is a girl with green hair, gentle, intelligent, and very good at cooking and taking care of people.

While her looks may not rival those of a stunning beauty like Kyoko Hori, they are certainly no less attractive than Yuki Yoshikawa.

She may look ordinary at first glance, but she's actually quite well-endowed.

Size 35C or larger!

Unfortunately, her earnest personality made her seem a bit dull.

In addition, her status as a student council member and a top student makes people feel like they are facing an elder when they are around her, so she doesn't have many friends, let alone a boyfriend.

To be more precise, at this point in time, besides Sho Sengoku, the student council president, and Sho Sengoku's girlfriend, Remi Ayasaki, she only had Hide Iura as a close friend.

After all, who wouldn't like a husky if they weren't kept at home?

Hideaki Iura is known as a human-shaped husky. Although he doesn't have a girlfriend, he has a lot of friends.

After being assigned to a class, Kono Sakura sat in the seat to his right and was immediately captivated by his energetic husky charm on the first day.

"By the way, at this time, Sakura Kono shouldn't have fallen for Toru Ishikawa yet, right?"

As an anime where everyone is a romantic comedy, almost all the characters with a bit more screen time end up in pairs, and in the end, the lovers live happily ever after.

He was the only guy who was still single until he graduated from high school.

Among the girls, only Kono Sakura, who also fell in love with Ishikawa Toru but lost to Yoshikawa Yuki, remained.

"Speaking of which, what exactly caused Sakura Kono to fall for Toru Ishikawa?"

As soon as he sat down, Iura Hide fumbled for the textbook he needed for the first class, trying hard to recall what he had learned.

Because his gaze was fixed on Kono Sakura, he was quickly noticed by her.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No, it's just that I've realized, Kono, you're actually very pretty~"

""

Kono Sakura's pretty face instantly turned red. She glared at Iura Hide with embarrassment and annoyance, then quickly turned her head away, refusing to look at him again.

Actually, given their good relationship, saying such things isn't considered impolite.

It's like if Iura Hide had said that to Yoshikawa Yuki, Yoshikawa Yuki would have definitely given him a good laugh and punched him, and then questioned him about how he only just realized it.

Of course, this is assuming that Toru Ishikawa is not present.

Because of her personality, this was the first time Kono Sakura had ever heard anyone praise her like this.

Kono Sakura pretended to be nonchalant as she packed her schoolbag, but a strange emotion suddenly welled up inside her.

Meanwhile, in Class 1, after putting down her schoolbag, Yoshikawa Yuki hesitated for a moment, but still ran off with a grin to find Hori Kyoko.

Good morning, Kyoko!

"Good morning, Yuki."

"Hey, can I copy yesterday's English homework?"

"Huh? You forgot to do your homework again? I just can't do anything with you!"

"Hehe, I stayed up too late reading comics last night."

Seeing Hori Kyoko helplessly take out her homework, Yoshikawa Yuki clasped her hands together and made a funny face at her.

"By the way, Kyoko, some friends from other schools have asked me for your email address. They're quite handsome. What should we do? Should we give it to them?"

Without even looking up, Hori Kyoko said calmly, "He was out of the game from the moment he stopped asking me himself. You can refuse him for me."
