Synopsis
University student Nishina discovers first love with childhood tea ceremony mentor Ryousuke, navigating tradition and sexuality.
Yuzuru Nishina is a third-year university student who doesn't really know his own sexual orientation or what it feels like to "like" someone. While drunk at a pub he was forced to go to by a fellow seminar member, Nishina reunites with Ryousuke Hase, a tea ceremony practitioner who captivated him with his beautiful manners at tea ceremonies when he was a child. When he gets drunk and asks for love advice, Ryousuke presses him, saying, "Well, why don't you try it with me?" Behind his carefree façade, Ryousuke is tied to the traditional family business and his family, and Yuzuru faces him honestly despite being pushed around—the path of first love that is forged by the tea ceremony.
