Hajishirazu na Yoru

A collection of six one-shot stories exploring love, desire, and the complexities of human connection.

In "Mikazuki no Kimi," Teruya has been in love with his teacher and local temple priest, Kaoru-sensei, since he was seven, but the priest refuses to take his feelings seriously. "Aisarete mo Inai" follows Detective Andou, who lost his leg saving punk kid Jurouta twelve years ago; now, Jurouta's guilt and hidden feelings are disrupted by a teenager named Takemura. "Yawara Kana Onto" features a man with a teddy bear fetish who wakes up to find a man who looks like one. "Shameless Night" centers on Nanase, constantly harassed by stalkers and perverts, who relies on his cousin Wataru for protection until he discovers a truth that challenges his fear of intimacy. "Amai Karada" tells of En, who has cared for the disabled heir Ayumu since childhood, tempted by cakes and affection, but is cast out when Ayumu's brother tries to take him. The collection closes with another chapter of "Mikazuki no Kimi," where Kaoru-sensei notices Teruya has grown tall and strong, leading Teruya to worry he has lost his innocent charm.
