【Manga Adaptation & All 5 Volumes Now On Sale!] //Completed!//

In a typical rom-com, I would have been nothing more than a background character. My step-sister, my female friends, and my childhood friend all fell for *him*, the popular one. The protagonist, blessed with innate charm that draws girls to him without effort, effortlessly brought the girls I cherished into his harem, happily enjoying his youthful rom-com. As a background character, I was supposed to just watch the protagonist from the corner of the classroom... But then, *she* found me. Despite being the protagonist's childhood friend and the main heroine, she chose me. She's usually quiet and expressionless, but she becomes talkative and shows her smiles only to me. She even told me, a mere background character, that I was more special than the protagonist— This is the story of that unassuming background character. It's a rom-com, told from a meta perspective, about the background character whom Shimotsuki-san came to love.
