Is it Tough Being a Friend?
Yujin kyara wa taihendesu ka?Publisher: Gagaga Bunko (Shogakukan)
Status: Ongoing (5 volumes)
I've been interested in this title since someone suggested back in the old thread, but since it wasn't me who suggested and didn't feel like I was qualified (lol) to write about it, I didn't make a thread for it.
Synopsis
I've found my ideal hero!My friend Hinomori Ryuuga. The happy-go-lucky best buddy I made in high school.
My first impression of him was this: "He's like the hero character in an anime." And that impression quickly changed to fact. For one thing, he almost never talks about his past. He often skips classes and when he comes back he's either bleeding from the mouth or has torn clothes or something like that.
Plus there are always beautiful girls around him. The school idol Yukimiya Shiori. Aogasaki Satori, the cool and beautiful swordswoman. Elmira Maccatoni the mysterious transfer student. Whenever they show up around Ryuuga I get extremely tired. That's because every time they get involved with him, I find myself desperately shouting stuff like "H-hey, Ryuuga! How come you're friends with Miss Yukimiya?!" and "W-why would a beautiful swordswoman like Miss Aogasaki come all the way to our class to see Ryuuga?!" and "M-M-Miss Elmira! What do you see in this Ryuuga guy?!"
...So why do I do it? It's because I, Kobayashi Ichiro, am a professional friend. Playing the part of the best friend that supports Hinomori Ryuuga, the hero of heroes, is my way of life.
--The start of a love comedy brought to you by the supporting character Best Friender Kobayashi!
*So, a story brought to you by the galge's tomo lol (and a little but more, but let's keep that's a secret~)
I think for people who likes comedy and light reads, this one will be nice
-
I have been interested in this one for a while, you have my unyielding support.
-
This popped up in my search results lately when I was looking for other romcoms to suggest. I see we're on the same wavelength : )
-
I remember seeing this one in one of the other request topics, and us debating if it goes Yaoi or harem or what. I'll give it my upvote.
-
Is this BL or are the girls somehow gonna end up in love with the main character who is supporting the blond haired dude?
-
@happy
I can say for sure it's not BL, but I can't say more than this~ -

@Jon-Mitchell
Well, I left a hint in the spoiler above. -
Also, people who don't like spoilers shouldn't go any way near the illustrations.
-
@bloodygaikotsu if they dare :D its their choice :D

@theredjet
I just left a warning for the masses~
I wanted to attach some swimsuit goodness to attract people then noticed how spoil-ish it is~ -
I've actually wanted to read a story about the best friend(s) outside the harem, so I hope this gets picked up
-
...I kinda feel bad for the MC if he really is a dude...
But you've earned my vote! -
This sounds dumb as hell and like a real riot. So, right up my alley.
-
this has been getting translated lately and its actually pretty fun, some good meta humor makes a good addition to an otherwise fairly standard romcom. J-novel needs some romcoms and this is a good option
-
I like Meta humor / self-aware stuff. Color me even more interested. =)
-
The manga has been getting fan-scanlated and it's pretty interesting so far. There are apparently 9 volumes out in Japan (1 of which being a side-volume.) so far. The latest of which came out in November. Considering how Secret Organization got cancelled, this might be able to fill in the gap.
-
Got its 9th numbered volume this week. =)
