Shop I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class

I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class finds its warmth in the ordinary: loner Maki Maehara and classmate Umi Asanagi bond in secret over a shared love of B movies after a chance meeting at a video store. A quiet school romcom from a Kakuyomu contest winner.

About this collection

Maki and Umi

The pair's low-key friendship, built away from the eyes of their classmates, gives the story its gentle appeal. As an illustration-led romcom, it suits acrylic stands and a quiet charm of the two leads.
