Lying Devil

Now an established manga artist, Amari finds himself entangled in a complicated relationship with Ugo, his former senior from a previous workplace. Their romantic involvement ended almost as abruptly as it began, leaving behind a lingering sense of uncertainty. Even during his time working as Ugo’s assistant, Amari never fully grasped the older man's true nature or intentions. This enduring lack of understanding now traps him in a confusing dilemma, forcing him to question exactly where they stand and what their connection truly means. Meanwhile, Ugo actively attempts to distance himself from Amari, striving to keep their interactions strictly casual for reasons he keeps to himself. He carefully constructs emotional boundaries, hoping to maintain a safe detachment from their shared history. However, despite Ugo’s deliberate efforts to pull away and Amari’s struggle to decipher the situation, neither man can successfully suppress the intense emotions simmering beneath the surface. As they navigate this fragile dynamic, both find themselves unable to rein in their feelings, drawing them back into an unresolved tension that neither is equipped to handle.
