The more deeply they fall in love, the more their bodies respond— A collection of stories depicting the burning passions of earnest young women in love, brought to life with delicate, beautiful artwork and masterful draftsmanship.
“Tabekake” (Half-Eaten) Koyuki, once a stray cat’s savior, now spends most of her days at a man’s apartment. Back when they met, he was a university student. Now in his thirties, he watches the once-childlike Koyuki blossom into a beautiful young woman. “…Maybe it’s about time to call it quits.” He wishes for her happiness and considers sending her off to someone else— even if it means ending the relationship that has bound them until now.
“Oazuke” (Put on Hold) A joint entrance exam battle between a gyaru and an honor student. Bound by childhood friendship, he tutors the gyaru for her exams. Her casually revealing clothes make his heart race, but when he lets his gaze wander, she scolds him for looking at her that way. On the eve of the big test, as he struggles to suppress his desires, the heroine suddenly shows up at his hotel room…!
“Free Ride” An older woman who loves driving meets a handsome young man on the roadside. But he isn’t trying to pick her up—he’s a hitchhiker. They hit it off, and when she asks about his job, she discovers he works at a host club catering to women. Having stumbled upon a “wild professional,” her curiosity about his skills quickly turns into temptation…
“Unmei no Hito” (The Fated One) From their hometown, through university, and into working life, she has always been his “inseparable friend.” But she’s never once been without a boyfriend, leaving him no chance to confess his feelings. Years later, she becomes engaged to someone she met elsewhere. Life may come down to “timing,” but even if the timing doesn’t align— or precisely because it doesn’t—there can still be one night where they finally come together.
In addition to these, this volume contains a total of 9 popular stories, as well as the author’s cover illustrations for Comic Kairakuten and exclusive bonus material. This marks the long-awaited fourth masterpiece collection from the author.
