Sunshine Girl's Broken Heart: The Childhood Love of Shio Lemon and Ayano Mitsuki
In the work "Too Many Losing Heroines!", the track and field club's ace member Shio Lemon leaves a deep impression with her cheerful personality and healthy complexion. However, this sunny girl's emotional world revolves around her childhood friend—Ayanokoji—unfolding a regrettable "losing" story.
Childhood Friend Bond: A Connection Since Elementary School
Shio Lemon and Ayanokoji have known each other since elementary school and are true childhood friends. For Shio Lemon, Ayanokoji is an important presence in her heart, and the relationship between them is filled with many shared memories and pure affection. Shio Lemon holds deep fondness for Ayanokoji, to the point of it being a crush12. Her feelings for Ayanokoji are so sincere that even facing a "defeat" outcome, she can still maintain her sunny and cheerful traits.
Belated Confession: When Affection is Hindered by Reality
However, as the title "Too Many Losing Heroines!" suggests, these heroines' feelings are destined to end in "defeat." In the story, Shio Lemon finally mustered the courage to confess to Ayanokoji. But she unexpectedly learned that Ayanokoji already had a girlfriend—Asagumo Chihaya, a classmate from cram school.
This belated confession made Shio Lemon one of the typical "losing heroines" in the series. Although Ayanokoji did have feelings for Shio Lemon at one point, by the time Shio Lemon finally understood her own feelings and intended to act, Ayanokoji was already dating someone else. This also meant that this childhood friend romance ultimately did not come to fruition, leaving a trace of regret.
Growth in Defeat: The Resilience of a Sunny Girl
Despite the romantic setback, Shio Lemon did not become despondent. Her personality remains cheerful and lively, allowing her to quickly become close with others. She joined the literature club and became good friends with the male protagonist, Nukumizu Kazuhiko. This resilience and positivity are precisely what makes Shio Lemon most appealing. Her story is not just about the end of a romance, but about how a young girl bravely faces setbacks and continues to grow forward.4。
The relationship between Shio Lemon and Ayanokoji is a microcosm of the emotions of many childhood friends in reality. It reveals that even with a deep bond forged from growing up together, the development of feelings can be missed due to time, fate, or the intervention of a third party. However, Shio Lemon's "defeat" is not a total loss; she learned to face it and grow from it, finding her own sunshine in new relationships.
