Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie! Volume 5 by Niichi

The school field trip: that time-honored tradition where friendships deepen, love sparks, and memories are made. It now descends upon the once-recluse Nanami and her best friend, Kaoru. “Best friend”–is that all he is to her? As circumstances mount—a perfect storm involving the return of Kaoru’s father, a friend’s unfolding love story, and, of course, the trip itself—Nanami is pushed to confront her true feelings. What does Kaoru mean to her? What does she mean to him? The night walk, an infamous field trip tradition rumored to forge new couples each year, is the stage on which these emotions culminate. Is Nanami ready to express her feelings? Will she literally explode from the pressure? And after everything he’s lost, is Kaoru prepared to open his heart?
