Here comes the childhood friend to ruin the day~

Hopefully she'll become one of the rare wingwomen instead of the pointless designated loser.

Just about time to introduce the third wheel huh? I guess her being the CF makes the whole thing easier. Thanks for the scanlation

 

[Aliamus]

Childhood friends.
Please, they have suffered enough.
Justice for childhood friends!​

 

[AsianChilupa]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Gobilu]

Now am I the only one who didn't have a childhood friend?

The sad thing is, this childhood friend seems to be trying to make moves unlike the common trope where they are silent and just lose.

he should ditch the idol hoe because he can't date her even if he wanted too

 

[Erbakhan]

Why you gotta call her a hoe? What did she do to you?

 

[HunterCO]

And other childhood friend has come to die

 

[mangeenthusiast]

The tragedy of childhood friends doesn’t stop even in this manga huh?

Though I’m not sure how I feel about Kuromiya being the one to propose the role switch so readily, and how the MC underestimates how well his childhood friend knows him.

 

[micz7ryu]

Now I wait

"And that's sexual harassment."

Ah, she's a Twitter user.

 

[kuma]

[Beeeg_cherry]

Oh no, the childhood friend

Never underestimate childhood friend knowledge. Though it does make me wonder if this is a case where she likes the MC, or if they're just only actually good friends and she's just trying to look out for him. It'd be unfortunate if she does like him since she clearly has no chance based on the title anyways, and I would feel bad since she seems sweet and is quite cute.

I hope so. I hate love triangles and losing childhood friends.

Right there with you.

@love09 I appreciate the translation work from you and your team, but I just wanted to point out some things.

"Gyaru" is NOT a girl who breaks Japanese fashion norms. It is a specific set of fashion norms in Japan, which can be summed up by blonde hair and tanned skin. If "gyaru" meant a Japanese girl who breaks fashion norms, then that would mean a Japanese girl wearing male clothing would be considered a gyaru. She wouldn't. Similarly, a girl could wear a construction worker's uniform to school. That wouldn't be considered gyaru either.

I'm fully admitting to just nitpicking, but whatever.
