Description
Yamashita Yuuto and Watanabe Asahi. They’re childhood friends who live next door to each other. They are so close in school that they’re called the “best couple in the school” and they both love each other. However, Yuuto is unable to get up the courage to confess his love to Asahi because of an incident in his past. Asahi had no intention of confessing her love to Yuuto in order to keep the promise she made to him in the past. However, one event changes Asahi’s mind. She says, “I’ll be more proactive in appealing to Yuuto to get him to confess to me.” This is despite the fact that they like each other and are so close that people around them think they are lovers. This is the story of two people who are in love with each other but cannot say the words “I love you” even though they are so close that people around them think they are lovers.

My Thoughts on I Want To Confess To My Childhood Friend
"I Want To Confess To My Childhood Friend" immediately pulled me in with its familiar premise. Childhood friends tiptoeing around their feelings? It's a classic for a reason, and I was eager to see what this story brought to the table. After diving in, I've got a few thoughts, both good and bad, that I want to share.
First Impressions
The prologue definitely hooked me. The initial setup is intriguing, hinting at unspoken feelings and a past that clearly influences the present. I was curious to unravel the reasons behind the characters' hesitations and see how their relationship would evolve. The story sets up the "will they, won't they" dynamic effectively.
What Works Well
The core concept of childhood friends navigating the complexities of romance is executed well. The author does a solid job of portraying the comfortable yet awkward dynamic that often exists between people who've known each other for years but are now contemplating something more. The slow-burn romance is definitely a plus for readers who enjoy a gradual build-up of tension and affection.
Areas of Concern
However, I did find some aspects less compelling. The dialogue sometimes feels a bit unnatural, particularly the constant teasing from the side characters about the main couple's "flirting." It felt forced at times and didn't always elicit the intended reaction from the protagonists. Also, while the past is clearly important, at times it feels a bit too vague. I wanted more clarity on the specific events that shaped the characters' current anxieties and hesitations.

While it has its flaws, the core concept is engaging, and I'm curious to see how the relationship between the main characters will ultimately unfold.
