She secretly smiles only at me.
The girl in question, Kachi Shirakusa, is a high school writer and Akutami Prize-winning author! And she's a beautiful girl!
I know she's way too good for me, a regular high school student like me, Marusueharu! But I think there's a chance, maybe, no, definitely!
...Or so I thought... Kachi has a boyfriend!?
My childhood friend, Shida Kuroba, who's cute, lolita-loving, outgoing, and caring...and for some reason, openly declares that she loves me, told me when I was feeling down...
"Let's get revenge."
The grudge of first love is deeper than the ocean—but it's definitely not dark! It's not murky! First love revenge is in motion!
