"I love you. I've loved you for so long"—

A romance between two opposites begins with a seat change!?

Hare Mayama (Eito Koni), an utterly ordinary high school student, is shocked to find a love confession written on a worksheet passed back from the student behind him.

The unexpected sender? Kohsei Asamiya (Suzunosuke Motono), the ultra-handsome, popular center of the class.

"This can't be for me, right?" Hare wonders, but Kohsei immediately confirms, "I wrote it for you."

And worse—his overwhelming love grows stronger by the day!?

"Impossible. I've been holding back for so long." "I've always wanted to do this." From beginning to end, pure adoration at MAX!

A youth BL romance between a confident, top-tier guy and an incredibly innocent, pure-hearted boy.
