The Love Song of the Cracker Ball

かんしゃく玉のラブソング

Takeo has looked after Wako, his next-door neighbor, since they were children. The two are the same age, but Wako was so sensitive to the cold that he often fell ill and missed school for days at a time. Thanks to Takeo's constant care, Wako has grown stronger, or so it seems.

What Takeo does not know is that Wako has loved him for years. He has given up on that love and settled for being his best friend, sneaking into his room at night, sleeping in his bed and walking to school with him every morning. He has made peace with watching Takeo date other people, and prepared himself for the day Takeo finds a wife.

Then Takeo says something unexpected: he might be able to have a boyfriend too. The careless remark unsettles the balance the two have kept for years, and Wako has to decide what to do with a hope he thought he had buried.
