My Friend’s Little Sister Has It In for Me! Story
~There is a thin line between love and hate~
When a girl loves to tease you it means she already fell for you!
Unfortunately, the phrase doesn’t work for Akiteru. The efficient-loving high school student always has an annoying interaction with his surrounding girls, yet he still scores zero in dating!
Though regretful, he still sees it as a blessing. Instead of wasting his youth on romance, he put his effort into making a game with his buddies under his uncle’s company.
But, before having an agreement with his uncle, there is a condition that needs to be fulfilled which is becoming a girlfriend to his beloved daughter. For the sake of game development, he takes the bait.
What will his best friend’s little sister Iroha, who loves teasing him, do when she hears the news?
