Childhood Friends
In shoujo manga, a girl often has two major options for her romantic love interest. He can either be the new boy in town, or the old childhood friend. When it’s a childhood friend, it can be a case of a childhood playmate returning after many years away, a casual childhood friendship that suddenly turns awkward as the couple grows up, or perhaps an unrequited secret crush.

I like how she is sort of hunched over her desk, as if she is letting us in on a secret. Also, I don’t think there ...
