Aishiteru Game wo Owarasetai

Yukiya Asagi and Miku Sakura created their “I love you” game in sixth grade: they take turns saying the phrase, and whoever gets embarrassed first loses. Four years later, the game is still going, but what began as childhood teasing has become much more dangerous now that genuine feelings are growing behind the words they repeat so easily.

Every attempt to fluster the other becomes a confession without quite being one, and every small victory makes ending the game harder. Both want to become more than childhood friends, but a real confession would mean abandoning the safe rules that have protected them for years. So they keep playing, each waiting for the other to be brave enough to break them first.
