Kono Kimochi wa Koi ni Naru

High school student Hisashi has spent years admiring top model Tomohito, dedicating himself to the modeling industry with a single ambition: securing a contract at the same prestigious agency. When sheer coincidence brings them together at a shared photoshoot, Tomohito views the aspiring model as rising competition. Determined to intimidate him, Tomohito pulls Hisashi into a passionate kiss, claiming he simply wanted to shatter his composed demeanor. However, this calculated move backfires entirely. Rather than scaring Hisashi away, Tomohito inadvertently sparks genuine romantic affection, leaving himself with an unexpected and devoted suitor. This volume also features three additional one-shot stories. In "Prepare Yourself," two cousins who are romantically involved work together at a detective agency and are dispatched to investigate a case concerning a girl who refuses to leave her room. "I Want to Be With You" follows Kyou, a young uncle, and Taichi, his middle-school-aged nephew, who are currently dating. Complicating their relationship is the fact that Kyou previously dated Taichi's father—his own sister's husband—leaving Taichi struggling with lingering jealousy over that past romance. Finally, "Love's Recommendation" explores the tension between two high school friends who harbor mutual attraction, though one stubbornly refuses to confess his true feelings.
