Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You.

Mizuho Nishino grows up in Koigahama with four boys who feel like family. On her seventeenth birthday everything slips. Her parents forget the date. A pandemic wipes out school events. Kizuki Hazawa looks her in the eye and says he loves her, then seals it with a kiss. Mizuho wants the five of them to stay the same, so she tries to fold that moment away and act normal. It does not hold. Shin Kashiwagi, Airu Izumi, and Shuugo Hoshikawa start showing where their own hearts point, and each small change in the group hits harder because the world outside is already shrinking. Stress knocks Mizuho off her feet and the boys close ranks while she decides whether to protect the routine or admit what she feels. The story keeps cutting forward to her twenty seventh birthday as a manga editor. Those glimpses sketch the futures they are heading toward and turn the question into something simple. Say it out loud or watch the distance grow.
