The comedy actually lands because the show knows exactly how absurd it is to have two childhood friends and treats that absurdity like a real problem instead of a feature. Eeyuu's panic is genuinely funny, not because he's a simp, but because the show keeps escalating his inability to stop being attracted to people he's known since elementary school, and both girls weaponize it in completely different ways. It swings between genuine sweetness and completely unhinged chaos without ever pretending to be something it isn't.

Yonosuke "Eiyuu" Sakai loves romantic comedies, especially ones about childhood friends, but he is sure that the perfect, devoted childhood friend exists only in fiction. He has two of his own, Shio Minamo and Akari Hiodoshi, and has never thought of either as more than a friend. Now that the three share a high school, though, he can't help noticing how pretty both girls have become, and he dreads them finding out that he looks at them differently now. Both girls are keeping secrets of their own, and they start making advances toward him wherever they happen to be. The result is a love triangle comedy full of awkwardness and feelings nobody will admit, built around one question: can Eiyuu get past his denial and see his friends in a new light?
