The Midorigaoka High School Film Club's newest member Shion Yoshino knows exactly what he wants, and he's not afraid to work for it. There's just one catch: it has nothing to do with film. Shion's looking for the picture-perfect Prince Charming, and he'll do whatever it takes to find him, even if that means joining a club full of nerds. He announces his intentions on his very first day in the group, only for the club's former Vice President, Rei Inaba, to make a stunning declaration: “I can promise you, 100%, you won't find a boyfriend here.” Not long after, however, it's Rei himself who kisses Shion and asks him out! What does it all mean? One thing is for certain: Shion Yoshino won't give up on his dream without a fight!
Second-years Mao Tsuchiya and Hisashi Otomo make three promises: 1) That Mao will never tell anyone that Hisashi is gay and has a boyfriend, 2) That Hisashi will never think of Mao "in that way," and 3) That they'll always knock before entering, in case someone is having some "private time." The two's ground rules should ensure a peaceful life together in their dorm, but life is never as simple as it should be, and some things are not so easily promised...
What happens when roomates-turned-lovers turn into viral sensations? And what if your happily-ever-after has an expiration date...? It's been three months since roommates Mao and Hisashi took their relationship to the next level, and Mao couldn't be more in love…or more nervous that he's not doing enough to keep his experienced partner satisfied. Just when it seems like he may have figured things out, the film club's movie goes viral, and suddenly everyone wants a piece of its breakaway star: Hisashi. With graduation right around the corner, Mao must find a way to keep them together or risk leaving their future to the uncertain tides of fate.
Winter is coming for roommates-turned-lovers Mao and Hisashi, bringing with it a whole slew of unexpected challenges-and a noted cooling in their relationship that makes Mao wonder if it really is as strong as it once seemed. To make matters worse, this period of transition before their final year of high school has also shaken up the one constant Mao had always relied on: film. Weighed down by such uncertainty, will the two manage to find something solid to see them through a season of darkness, or will the curtain fall on their romance for good?
Wedding bells are in the air as Gilbert/Wataru and Kohinata begin preparing for their upcoming nuptials. Pushed to his limit by the stress of finding an LGBTQ+-friendly venue and getting wedding-hot, Gilbert turns to his good friends Shiro and Kenji for the comforting company and soul food he knows he can rely on. This save-the-date announcement also means Shiro can finally broach a conversation years in the making with Kenji, and colors a significant step he takes in connecting his family with his life partner. And because when it rains it pours, big changes are also in store for Shiro at work…
Jin, third-year director, lead actor, and president of the film club, and second-year director Giichi see eye-to-eye on very little. Jin is flashy, flirty, and focused on keeping everyone happy, while Giichi expects the best from himself and others, and will compromise nothing to see his vision through. Constantly at each other's throats, the two can hardly stand to be in the same club. But what will happen when family trouble forces them to share the same dorm room? Will their common interests bring them closer as friends, push them further apart as rivals-or something else entirely?
A trying day at court, the aches and pains of aging, and the rising cost of living put Shiro through quite the wringer. Kenji is also in for a few surprises, as discussions about the future and an unexpected New Year's visit to his family's home lead to some shocking revelations and an unforeseen proposal. Fortunately, the two always have the comfort of a meal made with love to see them through. Good thing, too, because when a premarital quarrel threatens to torpedo Gilbert/Wataru and Kohinata's wedding plans, it's up to Shiro and Kenji to find a way to save their friends' happiness-without putting their own relationship at risk.
