Training Love

"Training Love" is a romance manga anthology comprising four distinct stories that explore the complexities of love, vulnerability, and hidden desires. In "Sweet Trap," Tachibana discovers a secret hobby belonging to Aya, a girl who harbors feelings for another man named Fujiki. Torn between revealing her secret and keeping it hidden, Tachibana's involvement unexpectedly causes Aya's affections to shift toward him. Meanwhile, "Pale Sacrifice" follows Yuri and her handsome bodyguard, Kashiwagi, who protects her diligently by day but transforms into a predatory, wolfish figure at night—a dangerous change she finds herself willingly drawn to. The anthology continues with "Midsummer Temptation," which centers on Shiori, a former substitute teacher now dating her past student, Yuu. As their relationship progresses, the mounting stress of Shiori's desperate job search threatens to tear them apart. Finally, "The Wound" tells the story of Mayu, who has recently started dating Kazuya, a hardworking man she sees during her daily commute. Mayu carries a deep insecurity regarding a massive scar covering her body from a childhood car accident, fearing his reaction, though she hopes his affection will prove stronger than her physical imperfections.
