"My Childhood Friend Will Never Lose" (abbreviated as Osamake) is a romantic comedy light novel published by Dengeki Bunko (KADOKAWA), and will be adapted into an anime that will begin airing in April 2021! This season's hottest light novel spotlights the "childhood friend," who has recently become the losing heroine. It's not just a work that features a childhood friend as the heroine, but the title itself has a certain meaning that will take your breath away. I'd like to introduce the characters that appear in Osamake.
The protagonist of this work, Haru Marusue, voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka
Haru Marusue, the protagonist, is a 17-year-old student at the private Hozumino High School. While a fairly average high school student, he has a generous personality and doesn't lose his temper even when his bad friends act out of control. He has feelings for Shirakusa Kachi, a beautiful high school writer and fellow first-year student who won the Akutami Prize, and they don't seem to get along badly. However, Shirakusa betrayed Sueharu and began dating another man. To reconcile her feelings with her childhood friend Kuroba's temptations, Shirakusa plots revenge: "make Sueharu fall in love with me, then dump him."
Former Child Prodigy
In fact, Shirakusa was a former child actor who starred in a hit drama and became nationally famous. Her talent was highly praised by those around her, and she created a sensation that became a social phenomenon. However, the death of her mother, who was co-starring in the drama, in an accident during filming left her deeply traumatized and led her to leave the world of acting. However, her horrible past will play a major role in this "revenge drama."
The cute, busty childhood friend heroine, Kuroba Shida, voiced by Inori Minase
Sueharu's childhood friend. Kind, caring, petite, and busty, she's incredibly popular with the boys thanks to her cute looks. Kuroba's crush on Sueharu makes him the envious boy in her class, and she gets angry when he's threatened with harm. She supports Sueharu, who lives alone, with a domestic side, but her alien-like sense of taste means she's terrible at cooking. In fact, she confessed her feelings to Sueharu before the story even began, but was rejected.
Black Childhood Friend
How does she feel about herself? She knows to some extent what kind of girl she should play, and even after being dumped by Sueharu, she plays the role of a girl who is convenient for him, preventing their relationship from falling apart. While portraying a devoted and loyal woman, she is secretly plotting various schemes, including Kuroba's proposal for revenge against Sueharu. However, at heart, she is also proud and clumsy, which ultimately leads to terrible consequences...
Akutami Prize-winning beautiful author, Kachi Shirakusa, voiced by Sakura Ayane
One of the heroines of this work, Kachi Shirakusa is a genius high school writer who won the Akutami Prize. Her beautiful appearance makes her an idol-like figure at school. She has a cool personality and at first glance gives the impression of being harsh. However, when she interacts with Sueharu, she loses her harshness, which leads Sueharu to think that she doesn't dislike her, and maybe even likes him. However, she ends up dating Abe Mitsuru, a third-year senior, which comes as a huge shock to Sueharu.
A Hidden Clunker
She's often described as a cool, talented girl, but that's because Shirakusa is an introverted girl who was bullied at school. Taking this into consideration, a certain incident led her to resolve to transform into a stronger, more beautiful person. However, in reality, she's timid and clumsy inside, so she had no choice but to portray herself as cool and unapproachable. She's one of the heroines who plays a major role in the film's theme of revenge. She's apparently an old friend of Abe-senpai.
The Ideal Little Sister Heroine: Momosaka Mari
This little sister heroine met Sueharu as a child actor and has always looked up to him as an older brother. After a certain incident, she appears before Sueharu, causing a stir. She is a talented entertainer, and has used her talent to achieve success since her debut, working extensively. It seems she is trying to arrange Sueharu's return to the entertainment industry by appearing before him...
Unsatisfied Heroine
Although she may have established herself as the ideal little sister character, the Mariai Sueharu knows is like a mad dog that will bite anyone, and in fact, she silences all of her rivals with her skills. Perhaps because of this, she feels lonely and no longer has any competition. She has a close older sister.
The Terrible Bad Friend: Kai Tetsuhiko, CV: Shimazaki Nobunaga
Sueharu's bad friend. He has good looks and average grades. However, his relationships with women aren't just sloppy; he routinely sexually harasses girls and has no qualms about having multiple partners, making him the ultimate hatred of all the girls at school. He's a despicable man who, unpopular at his own school, even makes advances on girls from other schools. Despite this, he has an iron-clad mentality that isn't affected by slander or the cold looks he receives from girls.
A Man Working Behind the Scenes
He's a carefree guy who only cares about having fun, and sometimes pushes unnecessary trouble onto Sueharu, but he considers Sueharu a good friend, and Sueharu seems to consider him a good friend, too. While many characters in this work operate behind the scenes, each with their own agenda, Shimazaki is one of those who operates behind the scenes for his own purposes.
The Unpleasant Senior: Mitsuru Abe
A handsome third-year senior, the son of an actor, and himself a media star. He's a flawless, perfect superhuman, with not a single flaw in his personality or reputation. It all began when he began dating Shirakusa Kachi, a popular Akutami Prize-winning author. He knew Sueharu as a child actor, and was jealous of her beauty, which he lacked. He began dating Shirakusa, knowing Sueharu's feelings, in order to humiliate him.
One of the Best Characters in the Series
This series is full of quirky characters, including the heroine and her best friend, but she is one of the best characters. She is jealous and envious of Sueharu's talent as a child actor, and it's true that she is quite abusive towards him...
