Ebisu

When Masachika Ebisu arrives at a remote mountain boarding school for his first experience living in a dormitory, his devoted attendant Shibazaki immediately tasks Ebisu’s new roommate, Wataru Tamon, with looking after him. It is a responsibility Tamon never wanted, yet he reluctantly accepts it, bewildered by how out of character his compliance feels. Ebisu quickly proves to be a spoiled, inept, and dishonest brat whose antics leave Tamon endlessly frustrated. However, beneath the boy's cheeky exterior lies a profound naivety; having never known anyone other than Shibazaki, Ebisu is deeply vulnerable. Whether he is crawling into Tamon’s bed during thunderstorms or constantly calling out his servant's name, his behavior only deepens Tamon’s resentment. Despite this hostility, Ebisu genuinely yearns for Tamon’s attention and desperately wants them to become close friends. While Ebisu expresses his emotions without hesitation, Tamon struggles to conceal his own growing infatuation with his roommate. This stark contrast in their openness inevitably leads to painful misunderstandings and wounded feelings. As the distance between them widens, both young men must find the courage to confess their true emotions before their chance at connection slips away entirely.
