My First Time, I'll Give It to You

"My First Time, I'll Give It to You" is a romance anthology by Nishizawa 5miri that compiles thirteen interconnected short stories exploring the tender, awkward, and passionate beginnings of love. The collection opens with "Doutei Mangaka vs Cosplayer," following an inexperienced manga artist whose life changes after meeting a dedicated cosplayer, before transitioning into nostalgic reunions and shifting dynamics in tales like "Reuniting with My First Love in High School" and "I Want to Be Seen as a Romantic Interest." The anthology delves deeply into enduring devotion and contrasting personalities through narratives such as "65 Years With You," which spans a lifetime of affection, and "Skinny Guy and His Chubby Childhood Friend Older Sister." Several chapters focus on complex upperclassman-underclassman relationships, including "Summer with Senpai," "Drinking at Home with Senpai," and "Let's Date: The Irresponsible Senior and the Serious Junior," each highlighting how proximity and vulnerability foster unexpected romantic bonds. Throughout the compilation, themes of self-discovery, hidden charm, and the desire to be someone's first experience are woven into every narrative. Stories like "Oblivious to My Own Charm," "I Wanted to Be Your First," and "The Line of Infidelity" examine the fragile boundaries of trust, attraction, and emotional intimacy, delivering a comprehensive portrait of modern romance in all its varied forms.
