Lie of Enchantment by Joker

Takashi has been completely ignored by his classmates ever since he started high school. The only person who still talks to him is Ryohei, his childhood friend and the popular student council president. Ryohei is known for his sharp tongue and commanding presence, but he treats Takashi with a confusing mix of kindness and cruelty.

As the days go by, Takashi finds himself drawn into Ryohei's orbit, unable to understand why his friend pays attention to him when everyone else looks away. Ryohei's actions range from gentle to harsh, leaving Takashi unsure whether he is being protected or manipulated. The story follows their complicated bond, where affection and control blur together, and Takashi must navigate the fine line between love and submission.
