Akira Kagiura has decided. He will marry him. Taiga Hirano, roommate—and the most perfect man who has ever existed! After all, Hirano’s bad boy vibe doesn’t really matter when he acts so sweet. Like when he wakes Kagi up every morning or cheers him on when he’s feeling down...So now there’s only one thing left to do: enact his grand plan and overcome the first hurdle—confessing his feelings! From the creator of Sasaki and Miyano— the story of Miyano’s bad boy senpai and his BL life with his roommate!

Ten seconds. That’s how long Kagi has every day to change Hirano’s mind about the whole dating thing. Just ten measly seconds. But Hirano isn’t reacting, even when Kagi holds his hands...So when Niibashi suggests he stop acting like a kid by getting woken up each morning and instead do something nice for Hirano, Kagi embraces the idea with open arms. Yet, for some reason, Hirano gets really upset about it...Could it be...? Is Hirano lonely?!

Akira Kagiura—his roommate and underclassman. That’s all he is, right? At least, Hirano thought so, but ever since Kagi’s declaration, he’s been seeing Kagi in a different light. Hirano doesn’t really want anything to change, but is that even possible...especially if they’ll be living together for another year?

He tried. Kagiura really, really did try to tell Hirano how he felt, but Hirano just isn’t getting it! And after regrouping with his amazing friend Niibashi, Kagiura isn’t sure...whether there is anything to get. Does he want to kiss Hirano? Or do even more...? Meanwhile, as the clock winds down and the school year draws to a close, the time for Hirano and Kagiura to go their separate ways approaches...

It all started like a typical old-school boys’ love plotline—bad-boy senior meets adorably awkward underclassman, one of them falls in love, and so on and so forth. But although Miyano is a self-proclaimed boys’ love expert, he hasn’t quite realized…he’s in one himself. Which means it’s up to Sasaki to make sure their story has a happily ever after…!

It’s not quite the same. As Miyano’s senior year passes by and Sasaki starts getting used to college, the strain of not spending every day together begins weighing on Sasaki’s mind. That’s why it’s a welcome relief when he and Miyano finally get a chance to go on a date— spending Sasaki’s birthday with each other for the first time since they got together. And yet, just being with Miyano isn’t enough anymore...

Sasaki is...Sasaki is what to me? A heated exchange between the two leads to absolutely nothing. Well, Miyano isn’t living in a BL story, so that’s fine, right? Except Miyano feels like he’s going to explode, because he can’t stop thinking about hugging his upperclassman...and taking care of him...What does it mean to like someone anyway?
