Ever since I was little, I thought my neighbor, the older boy, looked familiar.
Not the kind of familiar you get from knowing someone all your life, but the kind that comes from having seen them somewhere else.
I kept thinking about it, and the way the boy next door looked at me grew stranger and stranger.
One day, he suddenly said to me:
“Don't admire me too much. If you like me so much, come play baseball with me.”
What is this little brat talking about?
Wait, I'm a little brat too.

Miyuki Kazuya always thought his neighbor, Asakura Sumi, was strange.
She was always staring at him with a curious look, and wherever he went, she followed.
His teammates said Asakura Sumi definitely liked him.
Miyuki Kazuya suddenly understood, and naturally invited the girl next door to “play baseball together.”
Asakura Sumi happily agreed, and became his perfect little shadow.
Then one day, Asakura Sumi pointed at him and shouted:
“You're Miyuki Kazuya!!”
Miyuki Kazuya: ? Who else would I be?
Asakura Sumi had far more baseball talent than he'd expected. If all went well, she could join the same little league team as him, and they could enjoy playing baseball together.
But
Why were there more and more people around Asakura Sumi?
And these guys...
Did they misunderstand what the word “friend” meant?
Notes:
1. The heroine has some memories of the original story, but not many.
2. There will be a female-disguised-as-male reveal.
3. Harem-style romantic rivalry (probably).
