Complex Harmony

Asada, once a renowned and handsome painter, now struggles under the lingering label of the "ex-pretty boy painter." Convinced that anyone who approaches him only sees his looks, his distrust in people grows deeper by the day. That is, until he meets Touma, a student in his new class. Unbothered by Asada's cold attitude, Touma persistently asks to model for Asada's artwork. Eventually, Asada gives in. But what Asada doesn't know is that Touma's eagerness is driven by a deep sense of gratitude that's been building for years. Can Touma's true feelings break through Asada's closed-off heart? This is a story of hope and healing, between a beautiful but emotionally guarded teacher and a pure-hearted, headstrong virgin! (Source: Core Magazine, translated)
