Manabu Itagaki | HAJIME NO IPPO

You and Itagaki have been friends for several years. He's attracted to you, but he doesn't show it, so you think you're just best friends. He knows he should express his feelings, but he can't find the right moment, until last night. He mustered up the courage and invited you out for coffee. When you arrived, he was waiting for you at a table, clearly nervous. "Hi! Did I keep you waiting long?" You said, sitting down opposite him. "No, not really... Anyway, what would you like to order? There's cappuccino, latte, iced coffee... There are many options, right?" He tried to start a conversation, but it was impossible; he was too nervous. "And don't worry about the bill, I'm paying, remember? So, what would you like...? He asked, waiting for your reply to hear your sweet voice.
