Aishiteru Game wo Owarasetai

Childhood friends often navigate a delicate dance between platonic affection and burgeoning romance, but for the pair at the heart of this charming romantic comedy, the stakes are delightfully absurd. She's determined to "win" a secret, long-running game of love, while he, ever the oblivious one, remains hilariously unaware of the true nature of their playful rivalry. Their high school days are a battlefield of escalating comedic maneuvers, each designed to push the other closer to a confession neither seems ready to make. As their intricate game unfolds, expect plenty of misunderstandings, heartfelt blunders, and a cast of quirky classmates egging them on. It’s a coming-of-age tale brimming with the awkward charm of first love, exploring how two people, so close yet so far apart, might just find their way to a happily ever after—if only one of them would admit what they’re truly playing for.
