Close Range Love
High school friends Sakurai Haruka, Mirei, and Kanata share a bond so close that others envy them. They always assumed their friendship would stay this way forever-until Haruka’s stepsister, Ririko, returns from abroad. After years away, she’s grown so stunning that classmates now call her a "goddess." Though Haruka usually keeps others at a distance, Ririko makes a point of getting close to him. One night, she suddenly shows up at his place in tears, pressing herself against him and saying, "I have nowhere else to go. You’ll let me stay here, right?" Haruka is thrown by her boldness, while Mirei-who secretly loves him-watches uneasily. Kanata, meanwhile, has started noticing Mirei’s feelings. Slowly, the unshakable closeness the three friends once took for granted begins to shift.
