Kawaii Kimi: Bijin na Osananajimi to Heibon na Boku

Naho was raised with constant affirmation from his parents, who often told him how cute he was. His childhood friend Kana, who is two years older and lives in the same apartment, also frequently praised him. Kana is well-liked and respected, so Naho believed the praise was genuine. This belief is shaken when they attend the same high school. Kana refuses an invitation from Naho for the first time, and Naho begins to notice strange reactions from others. His previously stable perception of reality starts to crumble. The story follows an ordinary, somewhat naive boy who has been influenced by his seemingly gentle childhood friend. The work was originally a popular web novel later adapted into a comic.
