Hand in Hand

Satoru Arimura, a first-year college student majoring in craft and design, harbors an intense fascination with hands. When his fingers accidentally brush against those of his upperclassman, Yuasa, in the campus library, Satoru immediately declares it fate. Convinced that Yuasa possesses the perfect hands he has always dreamed of, Satoru begins visiting him daily, persistently requesting photographs, sketches, and artistic studies. Though initially irritated by the relentless attention, Yuasa gradually recognizes the genuine dedication behind Satoru’s eccentric behavior and eventually agrees to let him sketch his hands. Their unusual arrangement takes an unexpected turn when Yuasa accidentally cuts his finger. Satoru impulsively insists on licking the wound under the guise of disinfecting it, an intimate act that sends Yuasa’s heart racing—especially when he notices Satoru’s undeniable physical arousal during the encounter. As time passes, Satoru’s laser-focused obsession with Yuasa’s hands slowly shifts toward a deeper interest in Yuasa himself. Meanwhile, Yuasa finds himself increasingly frustrated by the younger man's lingering fixation on his fingers rather than his feelings. What began as a one-sided artistic pursuit now teeters on the edge of something far more personal, evolving into an unconventional romance fueled by desire and peculiar devotion.
