A Childhood Friend Comedy That's Actually Funny!
Okay, so you know how anime loves the whole childhood friend thing? Yeah, well, Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy (Osamake for short) totally runs with it. But it does it in a super entertaining way!
Episode 1 throws us right into the world of Sueharu Maru. He's our main guy. He’s got a crush on the school's super popular, seemingly perfect, author-idol, Kachi Shirokusa.
The Big Confession and a Shocking Rejection
Sueharu finally confesses! He lays his heart on the line. But BAM! He gets rejected. And not just any rejection, but a “I already have a boyfriend” kind of rejection. Ouch!
This is where things get interesting. It's not just your typical sad boy anime. This sets the stage for something much more wild!
Turns out, Kachi's “boyfriend” is some famous screenwriter. This just fuels Sueharu's desire to, well, get revenge. Revenge in a rom-com way, of course!
Enter the Childhood Friend: Kuroha Shida
Here's where Kuroha Shida comes in. She’s Sueharu’s childhood friend. And she's *totally* head-over-heels for him. We're talking serious devotion here.
She's sweet, supportive, and knows him better than anyone. Plus, she's got a hidden, mischievous side that makes her really fun to watch. You might fall for her too.
Kuroha offers to help Sueharu get revenge on Kachi. Her plan? To make Kachi jealous. By making Sueharu irresistible, of course! This is what kicks off the main plot. So exciting!
