Aisareru Karada

Yui, a young man with a petite build, has always been fascinated by the idea of having a robust and muscular physique. His desire drives him to enroll in a gym, where he is fortunate to have Tachibana, a skilled instructor, to guide him. Tachibana's expertise not only helps Yui achieve his physical goals but also serves as a role model, as Yui has admired him from afar for a long time, having seen him in promotional posters for bodybuilding. However, Yui's life takes an unexpected turn when his parents relocate to the south for their jobs, leaving him to live with his relatives. Among his new family members is Hiromi, his cousin, who has been warned to Yui by a friend: Hiromi appears to be in a romantic relationship with a man. This revelation sparks Yui's curiosity and creates tension as he navigates his new living situation and confronts his own feelings about his cousin's lifestyle. The story is intertwined with a separate oneshot titled "Taberarechau," which explores Yui's experiences living with his relatives and his initial reservations about Hiromi's relationship. Through his journey, Yui grapples with his own identity and biases, leading to a deeper understanding of himself and those around him.
