Koi o Shitai Wake Janai Keredo

For office worker Miyakawa, a single intimate encounter during his college years remains an inescapable memory. Despite spending the subsequent six years seeking out various partners in the hope of recapturing that fleeting intensity, every attempt has fallen short. No matter who he is with, he cannot replicate the profound pleasure he experienced that one unforgettable night, leaving him quietly haunted by a past he cannot move beyond. His stagnant life takes an unexpected turn when Kuroda—the very man responsible for that defining experience—transfers into Miyakawa’s workplace. The sudden reunion with his former college classmate sends Miyakawa’s heart racing, stirring up emotions he thought he had long since buried beneath the routine of his daily life. However, it quickly becomes apparent that this chance meeting carries weight far beyond a simple reconnection between old friends. While Miyakawa struggles to process the shock of seeing Kuroda again, his former classmate seems to harbor intentions that reach well past casual camaraderie. As the boundaries between their shared history and present reality begin to blur, Miyakawa must navigate a complicated dynamic where unresolved desires threaten to pull them both back into each other's orbit.
