Forced to move to America, Kazuma left with almost no warning, bringing his friendship with Ren to a very abrupt and unexpected end.

Ten years later, Kazuma is back in Japan and excited to begin his new job. Completely unaware that Ren is now working as the company’s top designer, Kazuma is shocked to see his old friend again. Thrilled to be reunited with Ren, Kazuma hopes they’ll be able to pick up where they left off, but Ren seems to want nothing to do with him.

With time, will he be able to win back the affection of his best friend and first love?

The Lolly Dolly Team

One of the most admired and beloved romance manga writers of her time, Hanai Ao (Fumika Baba) has dedicated her entire life to her work. From sunup to sundown, she pours one hundred percent of herself into what she does and it shows. With countless fans clamoring for her latest work, Hanai is at the top of her game. As one of the best romance writers in the country, you’d think Hanai would be experienced in the world of love, but in reality, she’s never even had a boyfriend. A fact that her editor likes to point out. Frequently.

Completely fed up with the constant nagging of her editor, Hanai decides to take a walk, completely unaware that she looks like she's just survived a typhoon. Completely indifferent to anything but her work, Hanai has never bothered with her appearance. At least not until she catches her reflection in a shop window and has to do a double-take. Feeling inspired to make a change, Hanai walks into a nearby salon, where she’s immediately greeted by Riichi (Eiji Akaso), a charismatic and charming stylist who promises to give her a look she’ll love. Struck by Riichi’s charm, Hanai soon finds herself falling for this man she can’t seem to resist. Lucky for her, the feeling seems to be mutual.

With love in the air, it’s only a matter of time before Hanai finds herself experiencing all the joys of a first love, but her strict work ethic could become a problem. Can a workaholic really keep a steady relationship when she frequently forgets her boyfriend even exists?

Sota Nishino (Ryusei Yokohama) and Yukihiro Nanase (Tsuyoshi Furukawa) have been friends for as long as either of them can remember. Now in high school, the two friends are as inseparable as ever, often visiting each other’s homes, either to do homework or just hang out. Though Sota has frequently been to Yukihiro’s house, during his most recent visit, he notices a very unexpected change.&nbsp;

Also a high school student, Yukihiro's younger sister, Mai (Risaki Matsukaze) has often been around her brother’s friends, so having Sota show up at her house was no big deal. But when Mai overhears her brother’s friend comment about her looks, specifically how cute she is, Mai finds herself incredibly flustered. Though neither Sota nor Mai are very experienced when it comes to love, they find themselves drawing closer as they begin to spend more time together.

Though things between the two young love birds seem to be going well, their young love is threatened when Sota’s cousin, Ituski Kaga (Koudai Matsuoka) begins to show an interest in Mai.

♥Brother's Friend♥

Sota Nishino (Ryusei Yokohama) is a handsome high school senior. He is close friends with Yukihiro Nanase (Tsuyoshi Furukawa), a boy in his grade, and occasionally comes to visit his friend’s house. Yukihiro Nanase’s innocent and naive younger sister Mai (Matsukaze Risaki) is a high school junior. One day, Sota Nishino and Yukihiro Nanase are talking in the latter’s room, thinking that their conversation is private and can’t be overheard. But the wall between Yukihiro Nanase’s room and his sister Mai’s is deceptively thin – and she overhears her brother’s friend saying he thinks she is pretty.

Inexperienced in all things love-related, Mai is unsure what to do with this information. But little by little, she begins to get to know Sota Nishino better. He too is something of a beginner when it comes to matters of the heart and their interactions are frequently awkward. But as they start to spend more time together, Cupid begins to take aim at their hearts!
