Synopsis
Two teenage seatmates engage in flirtatious banter, complimenting each other's appearance and escalating their playful, sexually charged interactions.
It all starts with a steamy exchange of sexually charged looks. Average teen boy Ikezawa can't help noticing Eguchi's tight top, and when he comments on it, she quips right back that his plunging neckline accentuates his toned chest! From then on, Eguchi tells Ikezawa every single hot thing she notices about him. Ikezawa can't help feeling flustered by her attention and even starts showing off for her. With chaotic flirtation in full force, what are these two smitten seatmates going to do but play even more to each other's gazes? (Source: VIZ Media)
