After Breaking Up with Hagiwara

[Blurb]

An accident brought me back in touch with my ex-boyfriend.

We'd been apart for three years, each with a new social circle and a completely different path in life.

Remembering the disaster we'd had back then, I kept up the self-deceiving, dignified adult act of "we can still be friends even after lovers reunite" and "it's all in the past, so don't dwell on it."

Until one night, after he'd had too much to drink, the mature and dependable Hagiwara Kenji suddenly pulled me into his arms and whispered a shocking proposal in my ear:

"Chisato, break up with him and be with me."

"...I could be your lover on the side, too, you know?"

Me: "...Huh?"

* Thanks to my friends for agonizing and freaking out with me over the blurb, sob pwp

* Hagi didn't actually become a homewrecker, he just said something outrageous. These two are endgame, no arguments.

Preorder: A Certain Scientific Romance Mystery, pairing: Hagi

A Certain Scientific Romance Mystery is a romance game.

You have to date the protagonist, Aoi Akiha, and guide him through his death-prone twenties.

The four police academy friends give it everything they've got to win the handsome guy's heart, but the NPC always breaks up with them and then dies.

After failing to win him over, the four share the game with Hagi without much hope and earnestly explain how it works.

Hagi easily unlocks the proposal CG, then shuts off the game and gets back to his busy work in the Mobile Unit.

Until someone knocks on his door, and a voice both familiar and unfamiliar speaks:

"Hello. Open up. Let's get married."

*

Aoi Akiha has 4... 3 ex-boyfriends.

They look different and have different personalities. The only thing they have in common is that they appear when Akiha reaches adulthood and launch an aggressive pursuit that he can't refuse.

Whenever Aoi Akiha brings up breaking up, his boyfriend disappears, and time turns back to the day he turned eighteen.

There's no way to stop it.

Akiha: Let the world be destroyed!

After returning to eighteen for the umpteenth time, he opens his eyes and decides through gritted teeth to drag his new boyfriend to the Metropolitan Police Department and put an end to all of this.

His fury turns into a heart pounding wildly when he sees the droopy-eyed police officer.

Akiha blushes. "Hi! Want to date? I'm super sweet!"

On the eve of their wedding, his new boyfriend suddenly disappears, nowhere to be found.

He waits all night, and finally has no choice but to accept that he's been dumped.

Sunset, sunrise, and Aoi Akiha is eighteen again.

He goes to his new boyfriend's house based on his memories and knocks on the door.

"Hello. Open up. Let's get married."

The class president has an official pairing. He'll take the family-and-friendship route.

As you can see, this is definitely a happy ending, and the pairing is that Hagi.

Theme: In the end, you're still the one I love most.
