Netsuryou: Calorie

For fifteen years, Toshiyuki has quietly harbored deep feelings for his oldest and closest friend, Yasuhira. Despite the strength of his devotion, the reality that Yasuhira is heterosexual has always made his affection a one-sided endeavor. Exhausted by the weight of an unrequited love that can never truly be fulfilled, Toshiyuki finally makes the painful decision to let go and move forward with his life. Just as he begins to navigate this emotional turning point, their mutual friend Jun unexpectedly steps forward, offering himself as a potential romantic partner. Toshiyuki finds genuine comfort in Jun's presence, even though lingering doubts cloud his heart. He wonders if Jun’s sudden confession is merely an act of kindness meant to soothe his pain rather than true romantic interest, and he knows all too well that erasing his long-held feelings for Yasuhira will not happen overnight. Despite these internal conflicts and uncertainties, the two young men choose to face the future together. As they confront various obstacles along the way, Toshiyuki and Jun slowly begin to build a sincere and tender bond, striving to become true partners in a gentle story about letting go, healing, and discovering new love.
