Hajimete no Sefure

Kiyotaka Sano and Tamaki Aihara have virtually no experience when it comes to romance. Despite their shared inexperience, a chance encounter on a dating app unexpectedly brings them together, leading the two to establish a casual friends-with-benefits arrangement. What begins as a simple physical connection soon complicates matters when both begin developing genuine romantic feelings for one another. For each of them, this partner represents not just a first intimate encounter, but also their very first love. However, neither Kiyotaka nor Tamaki is willing to admit the truth. Terrified of appearing overly attached or emotionally vulnerable, they both convince themselves that maintaining the facade of detached, mature adults is the only way to keep the relationship intact. They fear that dropping the act will cause the other person to lose interest and walk away entirely. Trapped by their own insecurities, they continue to share a physical bond while deliberately keeping their emotional distance. The irony of their situation creates a quiet, heartbreaking tension: even as they grow closer in body, they remain unable to bridge the gap between their hearts, locked in a cycle where honesty feels like the greatest risk of all.
