    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!

    Found that this novel didn't have an LCD so I'd thought I make this one my first one.

    I find this novel to be really enjoyable and a relaxing read. I really like the MC and his way of life. Support characters FTW! Also found his high spec and the cliche self-awareness really fun.

    I loved the twist with the 'Protagonist' HAHAHAAH it really is 'Though to be a Friend', hope MC hangs in there I love how self aware is the MC and moves in the shadows.

    Yeah, I really wished it had him remain as the support tho. Still, the way it's developing is still fun.

    It'd be great if he had O- blood since it's the universal donor blood type and the blood of an ultimate support character(blood donor).

    There are so many hints that MC is not normal. How could he believe he was an ordinary person all his life so far? If he wasn't in that school play, I wonder how he would turn out?

    I bet 1000 nuffies that in 1 year this novel we will get an update for an anime.
    if not I will pay 500 nuffies directly and wait to the new mark of 1.5 years.

    About the harem, I can tell you that MC doesn't desire any of it, but the female camp is insistance in been with him they just don't know that the others are as invested. The comedy is nice mostly because of how quirky MC is and the ridiculness of his planning.
