Reset

Touma and Sou have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Now in high school and playing on the same basketball team, their bond is stronger than ever. So when Sou breaks down after yet another painful heartbreak, Touma seizes the moment of vulnerability to confess his feelings.

What begins as a secret relationship quickly spirals into something far more complicated. As their time together feeds Sou’s possessive codependency, Touma comes to realize why all of Sou’s past relationships ended in failure. Is what Sou feels really love, or is it just another passing obsession?

Torn between his own feelings and the growing sense that something isn’t quite right, Touma confides in his teammate Maki. But once those doubts are brought to light, good intentions alone may not be enough to mend the cracks in their relationship.
