After Ryou Takamori saved his estranged childhood friend Hina Fushimi from harassment on a train, the two have slowly reforged their bond. The only problem: They have completely different perspectives on their relationship!

Ryou just can’t seem to wrap his head around why Hina is so clingy, while Hina thinks his cluelessness about her assertive flirting is evidence of a one-sided crush. Can anything get them on the same page?

The Girl I Saved on the Train Turned Out to Be My Childhood Friend, Vol. 2 delves into this delightful and comedic misunderstanding as the characters navigate the complexities of relationships and youthful romance.
