Sore wo Koigokoro to Yobu no Nara

Imagine catching sight of the most breathtaking person you have ever seen while waiting at a train station, and feeling so overwhelmed by their beauty that you immediately confess your love. For the protagonist of this story, that impulsive moment of romantic bravery quickly spirals into an unexpected disaster when he discovers that his ideal beauty is actually a young man—one who harbors a strong disdain for homosexuality. What begins as a fleeting encounter should have ended right there, but fate has other plans in store for them both. The situation grows far more complicated when the two unexpectedly find themselves attending the same high school. Instead of keeping a safe distance, their ongoing proximity leads to a series of misunderstandings, causing their classmates to mistakenly assume that the protagonist is gay. Despite the social complications, the embarrassment, and the object of his affection's initial hostility, he finds himself entirely unable to stay away. Drawn back time and again to the very boy who complicates his life, he is forced to navigate a confusing tangle of unwanted rumors, clashing personalities, and persistent feelings. This is a story about what happens when an undeniable attraction refuses to fade, no matter how illogical or inconvenient it may be.
