Maji de Tsukiau 15-fun Mae
15 Minutes Before We Really Date·マジで付き合う15分前
Yuuki and Natsuha have been neighbors and friends since childhood, living in the same apartment complex. Their close relationship has led others to believe they are in a romantic relationship, though nothing has ever been confirmed. As they near the end of high school, they joke around with the idea of actually starting a real relationship. It's presented as a lighthearted, not serious thought, but the possibility lingers. The story explores the dynamic between the two as they consider the shift from friendship to something more. Originally self-published as a doujin, it was later released in a collected volume by Kadokawa in February 2021. The manga was also nominated for the Tsugimanga 2020 Award in the Web Manga category.
