Synopsis
Mamoru Nekoyashiki is doujinshi (self-published manga) creator who authors boys' love (male-male romance manga) under the pen name "Kōniku-sensei". Nekoyashiki is a highly popular creator at doujinshi conventions,[a] and uses this popularity to fulfill his desire for external validation. At a convention he has a chance reunion with Kazama Issei, a childhood friend he once had a crush on, and who now performs as an idol under the stage name "Issay".
