Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? follows the story of two lifelong best friends navigating the complicated emotions of high school life. Himari Inuzuka and Yuu Natsume have been inseparable since childhood, bonding over their shared passion for plants as the only two members of their gardening club. Their quiet, flower-filled days together feel like something that could last forever — until an unexpected reunion from Yuu's past shakes the foundation of everything they've built. For Himari, who has never once experienced the flutter of a crush, this moment forces her to look inward and question feelings she never knew she had. Set against a backdrop of blooming gardens and the bittersweet ache of growing up, this series explores whether a boy and a girl can truly remain just friends — or if something more is always waiting beneath the surface.
