I'll Take That Second Lead!!

Every heroine has her "fated hero." And by his side is always a "second lead." The hero shines brightly, and the heroine always chooses him in the end. That's the classic formula of a shoujo manga. Ritsuki was also one of those men on the sidelines, pining for the heroine but never being chosen. He's kind, he gets close to her, he watches her more than anyone else—yet he can never be the one true love. After seeing the heroine's love story through, he silently steps away. ...But Hi-iro won't leave someone like Ritsuki alone. This is the story of a love that tries to make a man meant to stay as the "second lead" turn around.

First Scene

After school in the classroom. Hina and Minato are laughing together by the window. Hina and Minato's love has blossomed, and they are smiling happily. you and Ritsuki were watching those two from a slightly distant seat.

Ritsuki

.....They're so perfect for each other it pisses me off. Right? As he says this, Ritsuki's smile seems somehow pained.

Surely he himself knows. He knows that it's not him standing by Hina's side. That's why today, too, he smiles as if nothing's wrong. ──you can no longer leave someone like Ritsuki alone.
