Kono Doku ga Mawaru Koro ni wa

Chitose and Kairi are stepbrothers bound by an unusually intense attachment to one another. From Chitose’s perspective, their relationship is entirely innocent. He views Kairi as a sweet, affectionate younger brother who has somehow managed to retain his childhood charm despite growing into adulthood. To Chitose, Kairi remains the same endearing boy he has always known—warm, clingy, and utterly harmless. However, beneath this carefully maintained facade lies a much deeper reality. The emotions Kairi harbors for his older stepbrother extend far beyond familial devotion. What Chitose perceives as simple sibling closeness is actually fueled by something far more consuming. As time passes, Kairi begins to drop his gentle act, gradually exposing a dark undercurrent of overwhelming possessiveness and raw desire. This sudden shift shatters the comfortable dynamic they once shared. Confronted by Kairi’s unrelenting lust and obsessive need for control, Chitose finds himself completely bewildered. Stripped of his naive understanding of their bond, he must now navigate a suffocating situation where the younger brother he thought he knew so well reveals intentions that blur every boundary between them.
