Rival Douki no Hitamuki Kajouai: Fukabuka to Kuwaeru Omotai Yokujou

Amane Mikami, a sales professional at an advertising agency, has always struggled with romance. Her perspective shifts unexpectedly when she accidentally witnesses her workplace rival, Ryosuke Makino, weeping over a painful breakup. Although she tries to push the vulnerable moment from her memory, the image of him remains etched in her mind. Six months later, Ryosuke still openly wishes his former partner well, prompting Amane to quietly remark that any woman would be fortunate to be loved so deeply. His response catches her entirely off guard: he corners her and suggests that he should direct that devotion toward her instead. What begins as playful provocation rapidly escalates into something far more consuming. Ryosuke’s masterful yet teasing touch, paired with his honeyed voice, leaves Amane overwhelmed by sensations she never anticipated. She is bewildered by how intensely her body reacts to a man she has only ever viewed as a competitor. As their mutual stubbornness collides with an undeniable physical pull, the two colleagues are swept into a fierce, passionate struggle for emotional dominance. Neither is willing to concede defeat, yet neither can escape the profound desire binding them together.
