ふたりは仮友

Synopsis

Chie Suzuki, who gave up on making friends back in elementary school, has spent her school life as a solitary "cool beauty," content in her own little world. However, her current concern is the "character overlap" between herself and Satou, the "Prince of Ice"—a handsome, top-performing student who remains expressionless and distant. Frankly, she finds him a nuisance. But one day, Satou unexpectedly asks her, "Will you be my friend?" As it turns out, behind his icy exterior, Satou is just a pure-hearted boy who struggles to connect with others and make friends. At first, Chie refuses his request, believing that you need a particular type skill to be able to make “friends," something she believes she lacks the aptitude for. But then Satou proposes, "How about we try being (temporary) friends, since neither of us really gets it?" And so begins their tentative experiment in friendship! (Source: MangaMee, edited)
