OVA
Description
Konoha Inoue exhibits a gentle, kind, and patient demeanor as a deliberate facade, concealing his blunt, disinterested, and occasionally bitter true nature. He yearns for uneventful peace yet repeatedly becomes embroiled in turmoil. Physically, he has short brown hair, light brown eyes, and a feminine face.
His ordinary childhood included a friendship with Miu Asakura, sparked when he alone engaged earnestly with her imaginative stories. Miu grew obsessively possessive, killing his pet bird after witnessing his happy family life—an early sign of her escalating manipulation. In junior high, she sabotaged his relationships by spreading lies, including false claims of intimacy, causing a violent rejection from a girl he liked.
Konoha secretly loved Miu and entered a writing contest as "Miu Inoue," a pseudonym presenting him as a mysterious female author. His novel *Similar to the Sky* won the grand prize, becoming a bestselling adapted work. Miu, who submitted blank pages to the same contest, felt betrayed by his success and attempted suicide by jumping off the school roof before him. This trauma led Konoha to abandon writing and socially withdraw.
In high school, he joined the literature club after meeting its president, Tohko Amano, who consumed written stories as physical sustenance. He wrote short stories as "snacks" for her but maintained emotional distance, revealing his detached self solely to Tohko. His past resurged when Miu reappeared during a hospital visit for Nanase Kotobuki, injured in a fall. Miu manipulated him by feigning hatred and luring him to the suicide site rooftop, convincing him to jump with her. Tohko intervened, preventing their deaths. Miu then threw herself before a truck, surviving but pretending to suffer severe mental and physical impairment to bind Konoha to her care. He dropped out of school, left the literature club, and vowed never to write again.
Tohko later exposed Miu’s deception and orchestrated a confrontation at a planetarium, linking Konoha’s novel to their relationship. Konoha confessed *Similar to the Sky* expressed his love for Miu, enabling her reconciliation with her actions. Afterward, he reconnected with Tohko at a train station, where she revealed her university departure. Her encouragement inspired him to resume writing. Years later, he published his second novel, *Book Girl*, reuniting with Tohko as his editor. He sustained a platonic friendship with a reformed Miu, volunteering at a children’s center.
