"Yuki, a music college student, harbors unspoken feelings for Takeshi, a genius pianist 10 years his senior. Captivated by Takeshi's music since they met, Yuki has kept his emotions hidden. But when he moves into Takeshi's home in Vienna after a casual comment, things change. Encouraged by Takeshi's claim that he can't refuse Yuki's requests—and fueled by drunken courage—Yuki boldly asks for a kiss."

"Childhood friends Aoi and Ryouta recently started sharing a room together near their university. Aoi has always been proud of his good-looking and popular friend, while Ryouta is a caring person who always says, "As long as I'm with Ao, I'm fine with anything," with a straight face. Aoi enjoys living with his best friend, who has been with him since they were little and they understand one another."

"Teijin Sakuichi, heir to a powerful conglomerate, and Ryota Kishi, a rough-around-the-edges boy from an ordinary family, grew up as neighbors and close friends. In their last middle school winter, Sakuichi shocked Ryota by proposing before leaving to study abroad. Years later, Sakuichi reappears, transformed and distant." First loves.

"Two best friends learn to love one another. Tomo has trouble keeping his feelings for Shuuhei under wraps because he doesn't want to ruin the friendship they have. Meanwhile, Shuuhei is doing his best to not to worry Tomo and make him cry." MAN what a lovely story.

"College roommates Aki and Haru navigate life's challenges through the simple joy of cooking, sharing seasonal dishes and heartwarming moments with friends as they bond over affordable homemade meals." PERFECT comforting slice of life. THEY CHERISH EACH OTHER SO MUCH (even though the confession takes time). Perfect example of how love doesn't need a label, but can simply undeniably exist between two people in what they do for each other.

"Extremely negative Fujiwara-kun and overly positive Tachibana-kun are... a couple. While eating lunch hand-in-hand, they have their dates." What darlings! Their relationship is so, so beautiful.

Bright student x shy quiet student.

So domestic and lovely.

Idol!
