Osananajimi wa, Nyaa to Naite Skirt no Naka

When I saw “Maki Saihara” listed in the roster of my new class, the weight of that name made me feel as if I can't move at all. Maki is a dear childhood friend, but we haven't spoken in over a year.

(How did I talk to Maki......?)
The distance between me and my childhood friend seems very far, even though she is sitting right next to me in the same classroom. Until one day, when Maki suddenly comes over to my house.

"Ichika, I want to show you something."

Something suddenly pops out of her head. Cat ears! In no time at all, the distance that had separated us disappears. Now Maki, whose personality has become like that of a cat as well, comes and lies down next to me, rubs herself against me, and spoils me with just the two of us in this carefree time.
