A friendship changes shape

Aoi and Ryota’s lifelong friendship carries into college when they become roommates, keeping their familiar closeness at the center of the story. That dynamic shifts after Aoi wakes to find Ryota leaning in to kiss him.

Its setup brings together shared history, cohabitation, and the question of whether their relationship can remain as it was.
