What is the nature of love? Akio's feelings for Haru are intense and heartbreaking, yet he cannot bear to distance himself from him. The relationship between Haru and Akio is complex and hard to define. They are neither merely friends nor lovers, but rather two individuals who find solace in each other's company and struggle with their own loneliness. As their bond becomes increasingly fraught, Haru meets Natsuhiko, a kind man who is the antithesis of Akio. Drawn to Natsuhiko's compassion and warmth, Haru finds himself wrestling with conflicting emotions...
This is a tale of love that defies conventional notions and involves three men. The collection also features two additional stories: "Men Take out the Garbage on Mondays" and "The Easygoing Life of Foolish Lovers".
