A very sweet, slow burn between a 19yo former AV actor, Ikumi, and the friend of his lover, who took him in temporarily - though, as it turns out, the lover was leaving him. When his former lover dies unexpectedly, Akiba, a 29yo photographer, continues to care for Ikumi and helps expand his world.

This is The Happiest Story. Two single dads meet in the mornings dropping their sons off at school. The sons are dear friends, and the dads grow close, helping one another to cook and manage their lives.
