Is It Tough Being "A Friend"?

友人キャラは大変ですか?

Ichirou Kobayashi has a very specific role in life: he is the professional best friend. His sole purpose is to support Ryuuga Hinomori, a classmate who embodies every trait of a classic anime protagonist. Ryuuga is secretive about his past, frequently disappears from class, and returns battered and bruised. To complete the picture, he is constantly surrounded by beautiful girls, from the school idol Shiori Yukimiya to the cool swordswoman Rei Aogasaki and the mysterious transfer student Elmira McCartney.

Whenever these events unfold, Ichirou springs into action. He must play his part perfectly, reacting with exaggerated shock and asking the right questions to highlight Ryuuga's protagonist aura. It's a demanding and exhausting job, but Ichirou is committed to his calling as the ultimate supporting character in what appears to be Ryuuga's epic, hidden story.
