[A Romantic Comedy Where the Childhood Friend Absolutely Won't Lose] Here's what's so interesting about it! Introducing the charms of a romantic comedy where the childhood friend Absolutely Won't Lose!

"A Romantic Comedy Where the Childhood Friend Won't Lose" (abbreviated as Osamake) is based on a light novel published by Dengeki Bunko (KADOKAWA), and is an anime that will begin airing in April 2021. The light novel's theme is the childhood friend = losing heroine, and is about the childhood friend never losing. Of course, it wouldn't be a work if the childhood friend never lost, as there is a greater meaning behind it. In this article, I would like to introduce the appeal of Osamake.

Charm #1: A work that challenges the trend of childhood friends being the losing heroine

In recent works, the childhood friend = losing heroine formula has become established. The plot typically involves a cute childhood friend who loves the protagonist, but the protagonist eventually meets another heroine and ends up with that other heroine. Because their existence is so commonplace that it lacks potential for development, all sorts of childhood friend heroines have been defeated. While some stories feature childhood friends who succumb to the dark side after suffering defeat, or heroines who lose their lives after being eliminated from the heroine race, "My Childhood Friend Will Never Lose" addresses the notion that childhood friends are losing heroines, and is a light novel centered around the idea that childhood friends must never lose.

Charm #2: Award-winning in "This Light Novel is Amazing! 2020"!

Published by Takarajimasha, this light novel ranked 5th overall in the paperback category and 2nd in the new release category in "This Light Novel is Amazing! 2020." With a cumulative circulation of over 500,000 copies and an anime adaptation already confirmed, this light novel is gaining momentum. A comic book adaptation has also been released, which has also been well-received. The comic book is published in Monthly Comic Alive, and two volumes have been published so far. This is one of this season's recommended light novel anime titles.

Charm #3: The Characters Stand Out!

No matter what work it is, if the characters aren't well-defined, it won't be popular, and characters without strong personalities will simply disappear. It could be said that the reason defeated heroines end up losing is because their characters aren't well-defined. In this work, not only the main characters but also the supporting characters are well-defined. However, I think the protagonist and heroine's characters are particularly well-defined. Characters are important in a work. Works with well-defined characters are interesting. That's why Osake is so interesting.

Charm #4: The supporting characters are also incredibly well-defined!

The characters in this work are incredibly well-defined, but the other supporting characters are also packed with personality. Kai Tetsuhiko, the best friend, is a good friend of the protagonist, but he's a terrible man who cheats on multiple women and sexually harasses them as easily as he breathes, making him hated like the plague by the girls at school. Despite this, he shows no remorse and his mental health remains unaffected, which is impressive. He has a bad reputation among the girls at school, so he's the worst best friend, throwing powder on girls from other schools. He's the kind of best friend who will one day be stabbed, or rather, who wouldn't die even if stabbed, but it seems like even this character may or may not have a dark past. In this way, the supporting characters also stand out brilliantly. Works with well-defined characters are interesting. That's why Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara is so interesting.

Charm #5: A slapstick comedy without any tension

This work is about a love triangle, but it's not a tense romantic comedy. It's primarily a comedy-driven story, making it relatable, approachable, and a fun watch. It starts with a comedy-driven plot, but ends with a hilarious twist that will have you laughing and crying. While the characters in the story are the ones who actually cry, it's a comedy-like turn of events, so it's not a tense story. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a humorous story.

Charm No. 6: Being rejected doesn't mean losing!!

The heroine of this work, Shida Kuroba, confesses her feelings to the protagonist before the story even begins, but is rejected. Normally, being rejected means losing, but this heroine, Kuroba, is a little different. Even after being rejected, she still manages to remain a convenient girl, and ultimately devises and executes a plan to win. She's not just cute, but a strong female character. Being rejected doesn't mean losing for the heroine. In that sense, this is a romantic comedy in which the childhood friend never loses.

Charm #7: It's refreshing to learn why my childhood friend never loses!

As the title suggests, "My Childhood Friend Never Loses," the story is indeed about a childhood friend who never loses, but of course, that doesn't mean it literally. Once you understand how and why the childhood friend never loses, you'll understand. What exactly does it mean that the childhood friend never loses? The title itself is a major foreshadowing. Understanding its meaning is refreshing. After watching, you'll probably think, "So that's what they mean when they say my childhood friend never loses, lol." Winners and losers—these keywords—hold great significance in this work, and keeping them in mind will make it even more enjoyable.

Charm #8: Unexpected developments with foreshadowing of human relationships and revenge!!

This work is primarily a slapstick comedy. The characters do silly things and take dynamic actions, which makes it interesting, but another key feature is how the story unfolds with foreshadowing of human relationships. The first episode also features a major foreshadowing: the keyword "revenge." The plot begins with the protagonist's resentful revenge, but the act of "revenge" itself is a major foreshadowing. This is neatly resolved with the foreshadowing that the childhood friend will never lose. The subsequent developments also feature a complex interplay of various characters' intentions.

Summary of the Appeal of [A Romantic Comedy Where the Childhood Friend Will Never Lose]
