Rie Takahashi voices Akane Hayasaka, and Reina Ueda voices Hikari Tachibana.
Seven Seas publishes the manga adaptation in English and describes the story:
Shirou Kirishima and Akane Hayasaka have a secret relationship that they keep to themselves. Despite having feelings for other people, the two act like lovers when they're alone, knowing their hearts ache for their first choices. They even made a promise to end things the moment feelings with their first choice became mutual. But as they grow closer with each other and their crushes, the act becomes something real, something unexpected. When it comes down to picking their crush or the person that has grown closest to them… will they be able to make the right choice?
Kadokawa published the first novel with illustrations by ReTake in 2021. The novels ranked 15th in the Next Light Novel Awards in 2021. The novels ranked 7th in the paperback category and 3rd in the new titles category in the Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! awards in 2023.
