I'll Be with Them Again Today

Nao’s mother’s best friend decided to move into the house next door after her divorce, bringing along her son, Kyosuke-kun, who’s around Nao’s age. She couldn’t be more excited when she finds out he’s handsome—more so than his little brother, the reticent Tomoyasu. Nao’s not sure how to handle the excitement of living next to these handsome siblings, but little does she know, the excitement is just getting started...!

"Kyosuke and Tomoyasu Murota are the hottest new guys on the block! Nao’s been jiving well with Kyosuke, the older brother (when he’s not sending her heart into overdrive with his ""pranks""), but Tomoyasu’s another story. It seems like every day, he’s picking another fight with Nao! That somehow depresses Kyosuke, who begins pushing her away. That’s when Tomoyasu stands up for her and then asks her out, and... Time out. What was that last part?! Okay, Kyosuke’s the one I like, but Tomoyasu can be pretty sweet, too, when he’s not a total jerk. Argh! What’s a girl supposed to do?!"

When Nao attends a birthday party for Kyosuke and Tomoyasu’s mother, she and Kyosuke are left behind to clean up. For the first time in ages... they’re alone. Nao can no longer resist the lingering tension between her and Kyosuke and wraps her arms around him. She fully expects him to shake her off, but instead, he takes her hand and... reveals the shocking return of KYOSUKE-KUN, PRANKSTER EXTRAORDINAIRE! Nao barely has time to calm her racing heart before she’s off to the summer festival with Kyosuke and Tomoyasu in tow!

During the Summer festival, fireworks burst in the sky, sending sparks dancing overhead... and between Nao and Kyosuke! Now closer than ever, Nao quietly wonders if her friend might become something more until Tomoyasu speaks the words she, he, and Kyosuke are thinking: "Are you guys together now, or what?" Nao is devastated when Kyosuke immediately denies it, and Tomoyasu explodes over his brother’s indifference. Finally, he declares war with Nao’s heart on the line, but Kyosuke is still unmoved... or is he?
