MAIN CAST:
Kentarō Maeda as Yamato / Haru Kashiwagi Kakeru
Yen Press publishes the manga in English and describes the story as:
The differences between Yamato and Kakeru couldn't be more obvious. Yamato gets good grades, while Kakeru's are less than average. And while Yamato is very attractive, Kakeru's looks are perfectly average. Not a problem—unless you're in love with your childhood best friend…How in the world can Kakeru make Yamato look at him when Yamato is completely out of his league?!
