I Want to Be a Wall

Romance enthusiasts often insist that a deep, mutual attraction is the foundation of any lasting partnership. Yet Yuriko and Gakurouta challenge this conventional wisdom entirely. The newlyweds are bound not by romantic passion, but by their respective hidden truths. Yuriko is an asexual woman whose true devotion lies in her love for Boys' Love manga, while Gakurouta is a gay man who quietly pines for his childhood friend—a young man who remains blissfully unaware of his affections. For these two, traditional romance was never part of the plan. Their marriage is a practical arrangement between individuals who cannot fulfill society's expectations of a typical couple. However, as they navigate their daily lives together, a profound and unexpected bond begins to take root. Stripped of the pressures of physical intimacy and romantic performance, they find a rare sense of comfort and acceptance in each other's company. What blossoms between them defies easy categorization. It is not a love story in the traditional sense, but rather a deeply meaningful connection built on honesty, shared vulnerability, and mutual understanding. As Yuriko and Gakurouta continue to support one another through their unrequited feelings and personal quirks, they forge a remarkable relationship unlike anything either of them has ever known.
