Description
Akazaki Gou is a 26-year-old man…who happens to be a shoujo manga artist. His assistant is Akune Yuusuke, who happens to be a mangaka in his own right. But when Gou accidentally finds out that Yuusuke is gay, he's thrown for a loop—what else about his friend doesn't he know? And when Gou is asked to draw BL, he tries to pry into Yuusuke's experiences for inspiration…but when he is ultimately inspired by the idea of “unrequited love for Yuusuke,” can he keep his own feelings out of the mix?
