Surpassing Kiss
キスを追い越して
A collection of short stories that delve into the tangled web of love, lust, and betrayal. In one tale, a young woman finds herself caught in a forbidden affair, cheating on her boyfriend with his best friend, unable to resist the pull of desire. Another story follows a couple whose relationship is tested by secrets and unspoken feelings, while a third explores the bittersweet nature of a first love that never quite fades. Each narrative captures a different facet of romantic entanglement, from the thrill of the forbidden to the pain of heartbreak, as characters navigate the fine line between passion and guilt. The stories are linked by a common theme: the moments when a kiss—or something more—crosses a boundary that cannot be undone, leaving the characters to face the consequences of their choices. Through these interconnected vignettes, the manga paints a raw and honest portrait of human relationships, where love is never simple and every decision carries weight.
