There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless...

Socially anxious Renako Amaori is determined to finally enjoy her youth as an outgoing high schooler. Leaving her reclusive past behind, she revamps her look, practices making conversation, and enrolls at a school where no one knows her. The plan seems to work when she quickly befriends Mai Ouzuka, a famous model, and is welcomed into Mai’s circle—until Renako realizes how exhausting it is to keep up a persona that doesn’t quite feel like her own.

After an honest heart-to-heart, Renako is convinced she and Mai can become true best friends. Then Mai abruptly confesses her feelings, throwing Renako into unfamiliar territory. Renako has no interest in dating, but Mai proposes a compromise: they’ll spend time together alternating between “just friends” and “as a couple” to see what fits. As Renako pushes for a simple, happy friendship, Mai’s increasingly bold pursuit begins to shake Renako’s certainty about what she really wants.
