My name is Kobayashi Miya, a freshman at 'Haru High School'.... more>>

I am what people refer to as an untouchable existence. A girl that is just for them to admire and judge as they see fit. A mannequin that can be manipulated by their overbearing expectations and desires.

Even those around me see me as someone of exalted status, someone superior to them, someone they should look up to and admire for what they think I am... A perfect woman who excels in everything. 

However, all of them are completely wrong, I am just a normal girl... Scared, timid, naive, and above all else, hopelessly in love...

 

My name is Kawashima Takumi, a freshman at 'Haru High School'.

I am just an above-average student you could find anywhere. A run-of-the-mill high-schooler who gets enough marks and plays sports for enjoyment.

My existence is that of a person whom one could easily live without feeling a sense of loss, but wouldn't mind having around to give their lives that extra something. 

Or, is that just how I want people to perceive me as I peacefully wash away my quiet high-school days? 

Nobody would care enough to find out if not for her entering my life. <<less

[*] Chapter Releases Schedule : Between 1 to 4 Chapters within 7 Days.

(#) Author's Note :
Writing is a kind of hobby for me aside from Gaming and Modding, and these takes time and passion as I sometimes research a bit before writing so I can make real people from the places I mentioned to have a better day even if just by a tiny margin, so by leaving a comments whether that be harsh criticism regarding my writing style, helpful advice and trivias so we can all learn more about the other side of the world, and even just a simple word of appreciation in just one chapter from the many to come, I would be thankful and have the capacity to write more throughout the day!

Some mild dialog or commentaries from the casts usually are displayed on the Illustrations put on SPOILERS tag.
All illustrations (colored or not) are generated using AI Art Generator (Tap Universe).
You may send me a message if you are having troubles regarding that.

This one will serve as a step for me to experiment with whether I'll succeed in Romance, and with how little there are about ones that has a mix of both Japan and English novels, complimenting the language used and references. It will cater to both male and female readers, as I will balance out both the perspective of ML(Male Lead) and FL(Female Lead), alongside some other casts in the background.

There'll be loads of 'fancy' vocabs, e.g. 'Buffoon', 'Grand', 'Bum'; so forgive me if it's a little confusing for 1st timers.
Ya boy here now 19 and will soon start college, so don't judge me for writing something that may benefits me - experience in writing - in the long run.

What to expect :
Perspective - Sometimes 3rd Person, other times 1st Person POV, and will switch perspective between casts.
Diabetes - Highest priority of putting all the wholesomeness for both leads, don't ask.
Progression - From friends to best friends to lovers to lovemate, etc. Also Friendship and Brotherhood too.
References - As in things of 2012 with Black Ops 2 and the start of 'memes' with Rage Comic around the year.
Originalities - Countries have different ethics, and the different people that live within may change to fit the society they're in, e.g. outlandish jokes on the cafeteria like wanting to be toned before dying, casual racism, and others.

What NOT to expect :
Smut - Some sexual stuff like Ecchi but on the light, casual side which is why I don't check the Ecchi genre.
Tragedy - There'll be Tragic Backstory for the casts and maybe some fighting, But Not bodies. Not. Bodies.
NTR - Whoever made this kink, I really hope you're either okay or you can fight the whole world if you are.
Gay - Sorry but not sorry for those wanting Boys' Love or Girls' Love, I currently only writes straight couples leads. <<less
