Description
"He's sick."
My mother cried when she heard the doctor's words.
Unable to understand human emotions, I didn't know why she was crying.
To keep her from crying, I pretended to be well, as if my illness had been cured.
After befriending my classmates, we went to karaoke, but they left, leaving only me and the plain girl behind.
When I saw the plain girl being made fun of in the classroom, I felt an interest in another person for the first time. I tried to reach out to her myself.
My childhood friend, who had been making fun of me behind my back, tried to stop me.
"Hey, don't go back to how you used to be!"
"You once said I was just a convenient childhood friend, only good for paying – that you found me a nuisance and didn't like me. If that's the case, then never come near me again."
This is a coming-of-age romance about the plain girl, a hidden novelist, and me, who loves nothing more than drawing, as we both aim to become manga artists!
