Synopsis:

"I'm going to confess my feelings to Tanaka-san." Steeling his resolve, Irie-kun prepares to bid farewell to the relationship he and Nobuko have as "just friends," whatever that may bring. As one side character reaches out to another, this love story's ending may be in sight...

In volume four of Akane Tamura’s A Side Character’s Love Story, Nobuko and Hiroki finally admit they like each other… even if it takes most of a volume. This volume shows Nobuko and Hiroki both speaking to their friends, figuring out they want to say something, and going on a date — and that’s it!

The volume flies by, though it’s actually the same length as the others.

As ever, it’s really cute, and it’s also fun watching Hiroki and Nobuko develop, get a little braver, and figure out how to talk to each other. Some of Nobuko’s intense anxiety is beginning to fade, too, as she trusts that Hiroki won’t let her down.
