二番目な僕と一番の彼女

"I don’t mind being someone’s second… as long as I’m your number one." Chinatsu Minamino—a beautiful and immensely popular girl who can talk to anyone with ease. Since the autumn of my first year in high school, when I met her, my life has started to change. Even though I share the same name as a handsome classmate and am always seen as “second-best,” she began to see me for who I am. “You’re not ‘second-best’ at all… You’re the first person I’ve ever wanted to kiss.” We started meeting outside of school. Playing street basketball together after class, cooking meals, sharing secrets just between the two of us, gently reaching out to each other… I thought I was fine being alone. But she accepted me—and loved me. And now, I want to return that love. A youth romance story that reminds us how precious even the most ordinary wishes can be.
