Synopsis: Kai Nakamura has the average range of otaku hobbies for a high school boy, but the buddy he shares them with is far from ordinary… Kai's best friend in the whole world is Jun Miyakawa, his classmate known as a super hottie. Though Kai and Jun just met when they enrolled in high school, they hit it off with passion for all the same hobbies! When they're together, the pair never have enough hours in the day. Kai and Jun can't get enough of each other's company as they chat about video games and manga or sing anime songs at karaoke. Love is fleeting, but friendship is forever in this “just friends” rom-com filled with flirty fun!

Some said yer best buddy is often yer best lover candidate. Since you both already know each other well, and knowing both good and bad pointsof each other. Well, just make sure you both are from different gender, or else you geh.
The usual troupe is usually childhood friend, but they’re, in most case, not exactly “best buddy” character, and best buddy character often used as side character or possible heroine, sadly they often end in losing side in the most series. This one seems to going to trying to take on best buddy route. Let’s just hope it wont turn strange.
