Done reading this novel, and I can't wait for this manga adaptation! The story will really revolve around how these two individuals come to terms with their own feelings. Both of them are straight, one fancies cross-dressing as his hobby and the other who is an indecisive straight-laced man. This angsty love story reflects real-life situations someone might experience (or experiencing) right now. I really felt the feelings and somehow understand the two perspectives of the male leads.
Spoiler:
Hirouse and Matsuoka were both at fault. The agony behind the lies were prolonged, the trial and error commitments made one of them doubt of the other's feelings. I honestly hate Hirouse, and I really emphatized Matsuoka's frustrations and pain Hirouse caused him. At some point, near the end of the novel, I hoped Matsuoka won't end up with Hirouse yet there is a part of me that understands that they still (somehow, in my opinion) deserved to be with each other.
