by Mei Hachimoku

Score from AniList: 84/100finished5 volumes16 chapters

Growing up in a dreary suburb, Sakuma has little to brighten his humdrum days aside from his best friend. The bright, talented, and attractive Ushio seems to have everything Sakuma lacks, and his academics and athletic prowess make him popular with the girls at school. Past trauma—and an understandable inferiority complex—slowly drive the two apart, and by the time they enter high school, they hardly even speak anymore. Thus, Sakuma finds himself alone. Against all odds, he eventually gains a friend in Natsuki, the sweetest girl in class. The two hit it off gushing about their favorite novels, and he falls head over heels for her. But that very same night, he stumbles upon an unexpected sight while walking through a familiar park: his old friend Ushio, dressed in a full-blown schoolgirl’s uniform and sobbing uncontrollably.

Growing up in a dreary suburb, Sakuma has little to brighten his humdrum days aside from his best friend. The bright, talented and attractive Ushio seems to have everything Sakuma does not. The premise is a quiet novel about friendship, envy and the quiet resentments that can grow between people who love each other.The strength is the honesty. Sakuma's feelings of inadequacy and his loyalty are handled with real sensitivity, and the friendship feels authentic. The suburban setting is evocative.The weaknesses are about pace and mood. The story is slow and reflective, and the melancholy can be heavy. Readers wanting a more dynamic plot may find it quiet.Recommended for readers who enjoy thoughtful stories about friendship and envy. Expect a quiet, reflective read that rewards patience.
