''In the World of a Gal Game, My Best Friend ♂ Says He Likes Me!?'' (Galge no Sekai de Shinyuu ♂ ga Ore o Sukida to Iidashite!? or ギャルゲの世界で親友♂が俺を好きだと言い出して！？) is a short 2020 ShonenAi manga series by Fujitobi.
As a late-bloomer and newcomer to love, the happy-go-lucky yet incredibly dense protagonist Momose Aoi decides to purchase a DatingSim called "Kyun Koi"[[note]]Roughly translated to "Heart-Wringing Love"[[/note]] and sneak it into his stoic best friend Okamoto Ritsuki’s house to play. Unfortunately, when trying to hide the game from Ritsuki, Aoi accidentally kicks the former's gaming console which somehow gets both of them sucked into the game's world.
There they meet [[TalkingAnimal Pota]], the navigator of Kyun Koi, who informed them that they would not be able to leave unless Aoi (who registered as the game's protagonist) completes the simulation. Aoi decides to try his best in romancing one of the girls but it isn't as simple as he thought once Ritsuki confesses his years-long attraction towards him...
!!Contains the following tropes:
* AlliterativeTitle: The DatingSim "'''K'''yun '''K'''oi" that Aoi and Ritsuki are trapped in.
* BadDate: As this was Aoi's first experience dating, both virtually and in real life, things didn't work out between him and Ritsuki ti say the least. He took her out on a fishing date wearing mismatched clothing and Ritsuki, as a fish-lover not an eater, was so offended by his actions that her affection points for Aoi plummet straight down to zero, never talking to him again for the rest of the game.
* {{Bookends}}: The first chapter ended with Ritsuki telling Aoi about liking him romantically followed by the latter having a DelayedReaction from it. Near the end of the final chapter, the same confession happens only this time the roles are reversed.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: The two main characters have known each other since they were little with Ritsuki having a long-standing crush on Aoi that remain [[UnrequitedLove unrequited]] until the events of the manga. Though Aoi at first turned down his confession, he starts to reconsider and then undergoes a LoveEpiphany midway through, causing further distress to their friendship. Eventually, they reach there in the last chapter when Aoi finally reciprocates Ritsuki's feelings to his delight and spend the rest of Kyun Koi going on dates.
* ColorFailure: Aoi is drawn completely white for one panel after Ritsuki took a kiss meant for him from a drunken Shimida.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Noguchi Riko, Aoi's in-game, fish-loving ChildhoodFriend, was never seen or mentioned again after her [[BadDate disastrous date]] with Aoi dropped all her affection points for him to zero. She only appears again in the game's credits.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Ritsuki has golden eyes which match his blonde hair.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Nakagawa Maha introduces herself by colliding into Aoi twice. Out of the LoveInterests, she would have been Aoi's pick if were not for Ritsuki's interventions and confession.
* DelayedReaction: Both Aoi and Ritsuki when one confessed their feelings for the other, the former being [[ObliviousToLove so dense]] that it took him a while to comprehend and the latter for thinking Aoi meant as friends like always until he clarified it's romantic.

However Ritsuki had other ideas regarding that last part...
* UnrequitedLove: Ritsuki has had a crush on Aoi for ''over a decade'' since they were children which took quite an emotional toll on him as his [[TheStoic stoic]] nature and Aoi's general [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness]] to romance caused serious bottle-up feelings.

[[caption-width-right:350:Falling in love isn't just a game...]]
''In the World of a Gal Game, My Best Friend ♂ Says He Likes Me!?'' (Galge no Sekai de Shinyuu ♂ ga Ore o Sukida to Iidashite!? or ギャルゲの世界で親友♂が俺を好きだと言い出して！？) is a short 2020 ShonenAi manga series by Fujitobi.
As a late-bloomer and newcomer to love, the happy-go-lucky yet incredibly dense protagonist Momose Aoi decides to purchase a DatingSim called "Kyun Koi"[[note]]Roughly translated to "Heart-Wringing Love"[[/note]] and sneak it into his stoic best friend Okamoto Ritsuki’s house to play. Unfortunately, when trying to hide the game from Ritsuki, Aoi accidentally kicks the former's gaming console which somehow gets both of them sucked into the game's world.
There they meet [[TalkingAnimal Pota]], the navigator of Kyun Koi, who informed them that they would not be able to leave unless Aoi (who registered as the game's protagonist) completes the simulation. Aoi decides to try his best in romancing one of the girls but it isn't as simple as he thought once Ritsuki confesses his years-long attraction towards him...
!!Contains the following tropes:
* AlliterativeTitle: The DatingSim "'''K'''yun '''K'''oi" that Aoi and Ritsuki are trapped in.
* BadDate: As this was Aoi's first experience dating, both virtually and in real life, things didn't work out between him and Ritsuki ti say the least. He took her out on a fishing date wearing mismatched clothing and Ritsuki, as a fish-lover not an eater, was so offended by his actions that her affection points for Aoi plummet straight down to zero, never talking to him again for the rest of the game.
* {{Bookends}}: The first chapter ended with Ritsuki telling Aoi about liking him romantically followed by the latter having a DelayedReaction from it. Near the end of the final chapter, the same confession happens only this time the roles are reversed.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: The two main characters have known each other since they were little with Ritsuki having a long-standing crush on Aoi that remain [[UnrequitedLove unrequited]] until the events of the manga. Though Aoi at first turned down his confession, he starts to reconsider and then undergoes a LoveEpiphany midway through, causing further distress to their friendship. Eventually, they reach there in the last chapter when Aoi finally reciprocates Ritsuki's feelings to his delight and spend the rest of Kyun Koi going on dates.
* ColorFailure: Aoi is drawn completely white for one panel after Ritsuki took a kiss meant for him from a drunken Shimida.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Noguchi Riko, Aoi's in-game, fish-loving ChildhoodFriend, was never seen or mentioned again after her [[BadDate disastrous date]] with Aoi dropped all her affection points for him to zero. She only appears again in the game's credits.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Ritsuki has golden eyes which match his blonde hair.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Nakagawa Maha introduces herself by colliding into Aoi twice. Out of the LoveInterests, she would have been Aoi's pick if were not for Ritsuki's interventions and confession.
* DelayedReaction: Both Aoi and Ritsuki when one confessed their feelings for the other, the former being [[ObliviousToLove so dense]] that it took him a while to comprehend and the latter for thinking Aoi meant as friends like always until he clarified it's romantic.
