💫My Childhood Friend was a God💫

💔 This story is a soft, devastating masterpiece wrapped in gentle moments and quiet heartbreak.

💫My Childhood Friend was a God💫 follows Maeda Tarou and his childhood friend Takano Tomoya — who, as it turns out, isn’t just human. Tomoya is a god, and on his 18th birthday, he must return to nature and disappear from the world entirely. The story captures that fleeting, sacred feeling of knowing you’re running out of time with someone you love, yet still choosing to make the most of every remaining moment.

Tarou and Tomoya clearly share a bond that goes far deeper than friendship. There’s warmth, longing, unspoken feelings, and moments so tender you’ll find yourself blushing right along with them. As Tomoya begins skipping school out of fear and sadness, Tarou becomes his only link to the everyday world — bringing homework, sharing gossip, and eventually suggesting a quiet trip to spend Tomoya’s final days together. What follows is a story full of soft touches, shared memories, quiet tears… and the ache of something beautiful that’s destined to end.

It’s a short read, but it hits hard. The art is soft and expressive, the boys are painfully precious, and the emotional pull of knowing this love is temporary will leave a mark on your heart. It’s tragic, yes — but also incredibly beautiful. If you like oneshots that give you that lump in your throat feeling and stay with you long after, this one is for you.
