Shinai naru Tomo e sasagu Noroi

"Is a curse the reason I can't get a girlfriend..?" Hironobu, an utterly average college student, is still haunted by the memory of rejecting a kiss from his best friend, Taro, back in high school—an incident that shattered their relationship and has prevented him from finding a girlfriend ever since. In his own mind, Hironobu calls this "Taro's Curse." One day, at a group date he had been looking forward to, he spots Taro—with whom he had lost touch—and tries to hide to avoid an encounter. However, Taro calls out to him with the same refreshing smile he had back then.
