From Yen Press:
It all started like a typical old-school boys’ love plotline-bad-boy senior meets an adorably awkward underclassman, one of them falls in love, and so on and so forth. But although Miyano is a self-proclaimed boys’ love expert, he hasn’t quite realized he’s in one himself. This means it’s up to Sasaki to make sure their story has a happily ever after.
