Jun Andou is an aloof high school student with a longtime secret. He’s gay, and aside from when he’s engaging in his covert affair or chatting with an online friend, he’s never free to be himself. One day, he catches his classmate Sae Miura buying a BL book—a small moment with major consequences. Even as his thinking starts to broaden, Jun still desperately wishes for a “normal” future. But how can he have a wife, home, and biological child when he’s not turned on by women? Discover an unflinching story about navigating one’s identity through a sea of pressure and disparagement from the outside—and from within.

A sudden, shocking message from Mr. Fahrenheit has left Jun devastated. He finds comfort in the arms of his lover, Makoto—and Sae discovers the two in a compromising position. Thanks to some advice from his friend Ryouhei, though, Jun realizes that Sae may just be the one to understand him. He starts to open up about the truth, but he doesn’t expect someone to eavesdrop on their conversation. Will the entire class learn Jun’s secret…?
