Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san

Izumi and Shikimori's school is holding a cultural festival. The students are busy preparing for various activities, while Shikimori and her friends enjoy the festival atmosphere.

During the festival, Kamiya, a student who previously had a rivalry with Shikimori, appears. Kamiya is quiet, serious, and somewhat difficult to express her feelings. Her presence brings back memories of her and Shikimori's past relationship.

Kamiya still harbors complicated feelings for Shikimori. He views her as someone truly remarkable and someone he once aspired to surpass. However, after seeing her with Izumi and her friends, his views begin to change.

What's interesting is that Shikimori herself doesn't treat Kamiya as a rival to be defeated. Instead, she acts quite warmly. This slowly makes Kamiya realize that their relationship doesn't have to be based on competition.

The festival became a turning point for Kamiya as he began to understand that his admiration for Shikimori did not have to turn into envy or a desire to defeat her.

Kamiya is someone who tends to keep his feelings to himself. He doesn't easily get close to others and tends to keep his true thoughts to himself. Because of this, Shikimori's presence has a significant impact on him.
On the other hand, Shikimori begins to realize that Kamiya isn't just a rival. There's loneliness and pressure that Kamiya has been harboring. Shikimori then treats him sincerely, without forcing him to change.
Their relationship slowly shifted. Kamiya began to accept that he didn't need to be like Shikimori to achieve something worthwhile. He could have his own life and still appreciate Shikimori.
Izumi also plays a crucial role in this development. Izumi and Shikimori's relationship shows Kamiya what a supportive relationship can be. From there, Kamiya slowly learns to let go of the feelings and rivalries that have been weighing him down.

Kamiya initially knew Yuu Izumi as a schoolmate and someone close to Miyako Shikimori. As a serious, high-achieving girl, accustomed to being the best, Kamiya did not easily express her feelings to others. However, as he got to know Izumi better, he began to be attracted to her gentle, sincere, and caring nature. Kamiya's feelings for Izumi later developed into a crush, even though he realized that Izumi was already in a relationship with Shikimori. This put Kamiya in a rather complicated position, as he did not want to ruin their relationship.

As time passes, Kamiya begins to understand that his feelings don't always have to end with him possessing Izumi. He still values ​​Izumi as someone important to him and gradually accepts Izumi's relationship with Shikimori. Kamiya and Izumi's relationship eventually becomes more calm and mature, while the experience also helps Kamiya understand his own feelings and opens himself up to building better relationships with those around him.

Shikimori and Yuu Izumi became close after becoming classmates in high school. Izumi is a gentle, kind-hearted boy who worries easily, but he is also known for having extremely bad luck, which often causes him to experience misfortune. Shikimori then grows to care for him and slowly realizes that she has special feelings for him. The two eventually form a relationship as a couple. Throughout their relationship, Shikimori is often seen protecting Izumi from dangerous or troublesome situations, showing her a cool and brave side. However, their relationship is not a one-way street. Izumi also always respects, supports, and cares for Shikimori, making her feel accepted for who she is. Over time, the two grow closer and understand each other better. Shikimori helps Izumi become more confident, while Izumi makes Shikimori more comfortable showing her soft and childish side. Their relationship develops into a mutually supportive, caring one based on trust and affection.
