Necktie and Praying Mantis

ネクタイとカマキリ

Seiichi Natsuki is a hardworking salaryman with one secret weakness: he is terrified of bugs. When a praying mantis startles him at work, his younger colleague Shun Tokita comes to his rescue. Grateful and drawn to Tokita's kindness, Natsuki confesses his feelings. Though Tokita has never been attracted to men before, he accepts Natsuki's affection and their relationship begins to deepen.

As they navigate their new romance, Natsuki faces pressure from family and society to settle down and start a family. The weight of expectations forces him to confront fears that go far beyond insects. Their love is put to the test as they struggle to balance their private feelings with the demands of adult life.
