My Childhood Crush Is My Roommate ~

**\"Kazuma Shinomiya never expected much from life—especially not after barely scraping through high school. But when his strict father forces him to attend a prestigious Tokyo college, he finds himself in an unfamiliar city, trying to make the best of an unwanted situation. Things take an unexpected turn when he moves into his new apartment, only to discover he has a roommate... and not just any roommate—Akari Matsumoto, his childhood crush from years ago.

But Akari isn’t the same girl he once knew. Cold, distant, and far from the kind and cheerful girl he remembers, she barely acknowledges their past connection. As the two navigate their awkward new living arrangement, old memories resurface, tension rises, and secrets begin to unfold.

Can Kazuma survive six months under the same roof as his childhood crush, or will this unexpected reunion change both of their lives forever?\"**
