Love for a Thousand-Year Slacker

Hayato Hitachi is a man pushed to his absolute limit. Crushed by the weight of a soul-destroying job, he finds himself on the verge of drowning in the ocean—until a mysterious stranger pulls him from the water. This unexpected savior is Tarou Urashima, the legendary figure from Japanese folklore who has spent the last thousand years living as Princess Otohime’s pampered companion beneath the waves. In exchange for turning Hayato’s miserable luck around, Tarou agrees to guide him back to the surface world. However, when Hayato attempts to lecture the deeply spoiled immortal for his lazy lifestyle, something unexpected happens: Tarou becomes instantly infatuated with him. Seeing an opportunity, Hayato tries to leverage this sudden devotion to convince Tarou to finally return to human society. Yet Tarou harbors a deep fear of the modern world above and consistently dodges the conversation by steering Hayato toward the bedroom instead. Caught between his desperate need to go home and the relentless distractions of an affectionate thousand-year-old slacker, Hayato must figure out if he will ever escape the depths.
