STORY

Just three words, "I love you"—but I could never bring myself to tell her...

Between the friends I knew so well,

there lay a secret relationship I had never known about—

The pure-hearted protagonist, Haruta Fuyutsuki,

had always harbored feelings for his friend, Rio Inami.

He finally mustered up his courage and confessed his love,

and the two officially became a couple.

He was basking in happiness—

However, both Rio's body and heart already belonged to someone else.

CHARACTERS

Rio Inami

Haruta's friend. Though she's aware of his feelings, she pretends not to notice...

Nanoha Momota

On the surface, she's an honor student. Deep inside, she feels strongly repressed.

Kaito Natsukawa

Works as a photographer.

He's returned to town after a long time for work.

Outwardly, he appears to be a frivolous lady's man.
