How About a Boyfriend?

Ayukawa's romantic history has been a series of painful disappointments, from the sting of his very first crush to the bitter rejection of his most recent ex-girlfriend. Each failed relationship has chipped away at his confidence, leaving him thoroughly convinced that he is simply not destined for love. Resigned to solitude, he accepts a teaching position at an all-boys academy, hoping to bury his romantic failures in the quiet routine of his new career. But his carefully constructed peace is soon unsettled by Hino, a bright and disarmingly affectionate student who seems determined to close the distance between them. Hino's overt friendliness defies the usual teacher-student dynamic, and Ayukawa finds himself increasingly flustered by the boy's unwavering attention. As their daily interactions grow charged with unspoken tension, Ayukawa is forced to question everything he thought he knew about his own heart. Could it be that the answer to years of romantic misfortune lies not in finding the right woman, but in embracing an entirely unexpected kind of relationship? Torn between professional ethics and a burgeoning personal desire, he must now navigate the perilous uncertainty of falling for the last person he ever expected.
