Two people have been saying "I love you" to each other as a game for six years. Neither one knows the other actually means it. Every episode shrinks the distance between them while they both stay frozen, convinced they'll lose if they move first. The comedy comes from watching two people torture themselves with words they're terrified to actually mean. By the end, you stop laughing at the game and start aching for them to break it.

Yukiya and Miku have been inseparable since childhood, but there's one thing they've never managed to be honest about: each other. Years ago, they turned their feelings into a game. Every so often, one of them declares "I love you" out loud, and whoever blushes or breaks composure first loses. It's a clever way to hide what they actually mean. Yukiya has tried everything to beat Miku, from reading the manga she loves to changing how he looks, yet she always stays a step ahead. Now in high school, they have loosened the rules so that almost any tactic goes, though most rounds end in a draw. Except their hearts aren't playing by the rules anymore. Their affection keeps growing and is obvious to everyone, but neither is willing to call the game off. The real question isn't who wins the game anymore, it's whether either of them has the guts to stop playing it.
