Sexless Friend

Suou Tsukasa is effortlessly popular among the women at his college, with female students approaching him daily to strike up conversations. However, beneath his polite and accommodating exterior lies a quiet frustration: he genuinely dislikes forward, overly assertive girls, yet remains too kindhearted to ever turn them away. In truth, his affections are directed elsewhere. Tsukasa harbors a secret crush on Kizaki Megumu, a classmate known for being one of the most reserved and soft-spoken students in their cohort. The dynamic of their shared classes is further complicated by their instructor, Dr. Hime. Despite her official title, she is a young professor whose youthful appearance and petite stature make it difficult for students to take her seriously. Rather than treating her with academic respect, her classes frequently tease her playfully, viewing her more as a peer than an authority figure. One evening, the boundaries between student and teacher blur entirely when Dr. Hime becomes heavily intoxicated after her students ply her with alcohol. When Tsukasa steps in to escort the incapacitated professor safely home, the night takes an unexpected turn. In her vulnerable state, Dr. Hime inadvertently reveals a startling secret about her private love life, pulling Tsukasa into a situation far more complicated than his unrequited feelings for Megumu.
