Fudanshi Bartender no Tashinami

Souichirou Hibiki works as a bartender at an establishment in the coastal Shonan region. To his patrons, he presents an aura of effortless cool and quiet mystery, effortlessly mixing drinks while maintaining a composed, enigmatic demeanor. However, beneath this polished professional exterior lies a closely guarded secret that Souichirou is desperate to keep hidden from the rest of the world. In truth, Souichirou is a devoted fudanshi—a male fan deeply passionate about boys' love media. Rather than simply enjoying his hobby in private, he brings his otaku tendencies directly into his workplace. As customers arrive at the bar for their evening drinks, he quietly observes them, mentally pairing off unsuspecting patrons into his ideal romantic couples. He spends his shifts secretly fantasizing about these men, silently worshipping the precious dynamics he imagines blossoming between them. Balancing his sophisticated public image with his fervent, hidden obsession, Souichirou navigates the daily challenge of keeping his unique pastime entirely out of sight.
