Junai Nostalgic

As children in elementary school, four friends—Hideki, Mahiro, Mike, and Soma—regularly played pretend as heroes and villains. Over time, they grew apart but reconnect at a shared friend’s wedding as adults. Mahiro, Mike, and Soma occasionally meet for drinks, though Hideki is absent each time, disappointing Mahiro. Hideki’s absence ends when Mahiro discovers him following a coworker. Concerned, Mahiro questions Hideki’s motives and is asked to assist in an unclear mission. The volume also features a separate story about Mike and Soma, who live together but are not in a romantic relationship—at least not yet.
