Synopsis
Shy virgin Tarou questions his friendship with touchy transfer student Rui—are they just friends or something more?
Tarou, an ultra-pure virgin who has a complex with red hair and freckles, feels a sense of closeness to Rui, a transfer student who, like himself, is "half but not good at English," and becomes friends with him. However, the physical contact from Rui is so excessive and sweet that it surpasses Tarou's idea of "friends," and it keeps making his heart beat faster every day...! Is it okay to kiss friends...!? Is this love!? (Source: Gentosha Comics, translated)
