Our Dating Story: The Experienced You and The Inexperienced Me

Ryuuto Kashima is quiet, withdrawn, and convinced that someone like the popular Runa Shirakawa belongs firmly in the realm of daydreams. That changes after he loses a bet with his friends and is pushed into confessing to her—only for Runa to accept, turning his expectations on their head and landing him in a relationship he never imagined he’d have.

Dating Runa quickly proves daunting for Ryuuto, and he asks to keep their relationship limited to a small circle of trusted friends. The secrecy brings its own complications, and as misunderstandings pile up, Ryuuto’s lingering insecurities from past experiences begin to surface. Just as things start to settle, his middle school crush Maria Kurose transfers into his class, while harsh rumors about Runa spread through the school, forcing Ryuuto to take rash steps to protect her.
