Hourou Inu to Mayoi Neko

Takuma Yoshimi has always possessed a deep passion for art, a lifelong devotion that eventually led him to a fulfilling career in the editorial department of the prestigious art magazine Artnote. When the editor-in-chief decides to feature Shinnosuke Kase, a brilliant and rapidly rising painting prodigy, Yoshimi is assigned to manage the project. However, there is one significant complication: Kase suffers from a notoriously terrible sense of direction and becomes hopelessly lost the moment he returns to Japan. To prevent their star subject from wandering off before the feature can be completed, the editor-in-chief instructs Yoshimi to remain by Kase's side at all times. What his superiors do not know is that this arrangement carries profound personal weight for Yoshimi, as Kase is none other than his unrequited first love from their college days. Thrust back into close proximity with the man who once captured his heart, Yoshimi must navigate both his professional responsibilities and his resurfacing emotions. As they spend time together, a pressing question lingers in the air: does Kase share these lingering feelings, or will he simply drift away once again?
