Synopsis
Clumsy Akira pines for oblivious best friend Tatsuya while sarcastic Tanabe unexpectedly understands his heart.
Clumsy Akira is head-over-heels for his best friend, the confident and handsome Tatsuya. Too bad Tatsuya has a gorgeous girlfriend...and no idea that Akira watches his every move! When the strange and sarcastic Tanabe steps in to distract (and tease) his lovesick pal, Akira's sure he's just looking for a little excitement to pass the time. However, it becomes impossible to ignore how well Tanabe seems to know his thoughts, wishes and deepest secrets. Does Akira understand his heart well enough to recognize true love when it comes calling? (Source: Digital Manga Publishing)
