Synopsis
Opposites Wataru and Minato reunite after years apart, now both questioning if friendship should become romance.
Meet Wataru, an open book who wears his heart on his sleeve, and Minato, a man who always comes across as cool, calm, and collected. Though they're polar opposites, their shared love of photography brings them together in high school, and they become such good friends that they decide to rent a place together in college. It's only when Minato moves across the country for work after graduation that Wataru realizes he's been harboring romantic feelings for the stoic gentleman this whole time. So when they reunite three years later, Wataru hopes they'll be able to reconnect as friends... but now it's Minato who seems to have his sights set on romance! Friends or lovers—which will they choose? The countdown to their final decision is on! (Source: Animate International)
