A carefree son is summoned home after dad gets wind of his grades. He falls for his servant, who has crushed on him for ages. His dad's story: Twenty years after brothers-in-law-to-be fell in love and risked a forbidden affair, they have a chance to be together. Too short, but I would read a hundred chapters about the dad. Both story lines are entertaining, but the dad's -- finally being with the person you've loved for two decades -- really touched me. Honestly, I reread the dad's three chapters probably once a month. That's why this gets five stars. It really resonated, despite not being long or developed. I'd write a novel based on the concept of waiting twenty years to be with the person you loved.

I just gained ten years on my life after reading this. After he's dumped in the street, a man sits on a bench to cry and is startled when a pair of underwear falls on him from the apartment above. It belongs to an older man, recently divorced, who effortlessly inserts himself into his life. Gentle, sweet, hopeful, mature, no pain. This is a lovely story.

Seiji, forty years old and perpetually single, is reunited with Shin, a delinquent he inspired ten years ago when he was still a cop, and who has followed in his footsteps.
