Is it tough being "a friend"?

友人キャラは大変ですか?

Ichirou Kobayashi has a single goal in high school: to be the perfect supporting friend to his best friend, Hinomori Ryuuga. From the moment they met, Ichirou was convinced that Ryuuga is a true protagonist straight out of an anime. Ryuuga never talks about his past, disappears from class frequently, and returns exhausted, with torn clothes and blood on his lips. To make things even more complicated, beautiful girls constantly surround him, like the school idol Shiori Yukimiya, the cool swordswoman Rei Aogasaki, and the mysterious transfer student Elmira McCartney.

Ichirou's role is to react, to make a fuss, and to support Ryuuga no matter what. He sees his life's calling in helping his friend navigate a world that seems ripped from a storybook. It's a tiring job, but someone has to do it. He is the ultimate best friend character, and he takes his role seriously.

This is the curtain raiser for a romantic comedy starring the ultimate supporting friend, Ichirou Kobayashi, as he does his best to keep up with the protagonist of protagonists and the chaos that follows him.
