Lovers or Friends
恋友
Yukie and Kogawa have been friends with Yamato since childhood, but both harbor secret romantic feelings for him. Unable to confess, they relieve their pent-up desire by engaging in sexual acts with each other, using Yamato as a fantasy. As their encounters grow more intense, the line between substitute and genuine affection begins to blur, threatening their friendship and the secret they share.
When a new person enters their circle and shows interest in one of the three friends, the fragile dynamic is further shaken. Meanwhile, in a separate story, models Kichii and Akira make a risky bet involving Akira's older brother: if Kichii can outrank him in a magazine's boyfriend ranking, Akira becomes his slave, and vice versa. Elsewhere, Tamura Chisato sleeps with anyone who claims to like him, frustrating the straight Masashi, who tries to change his ways.
