Pair 1: Kirishima Yuto x Shinji Nagisa [Patience; PA]

(Main Story) (Cover Art)

Love that had begun sparking between a victim of domestic abuse and his ex brother-in-law.

Kirishima Yuto is a 19 year old who suffers from extreme social anxiety as a result of abuse from his family. After a fight with his 35 year old delusional ex brother-in-law, Shinji Nagisa, he attempts suicide. Discovering Yuto's suicide letter by mistake, Nagisa vows to treat Yuto better. Unbeknownst to them, this sudden kindness began to inculcate a budding romance between them.

How will their relationship turn out? Will Nagisa be successful in helping Yuto overcome social anxiety? Why was Yuto even abused in the first place?

Pair 2: Ryu Jaehwan x Nakanishi Aki [Purity; PU]

Romance between a shy secretive barista and the basketball coach who caught his eye.

21 year old Ryu Jaehwan seems like he won at life. But the truth about the beauty of the raven is that he's been a caged bird. For most of his life. A handsome and mysterious basketball coach gave him his number who he naïvely asked to move in with him after being asked out. Luckily for him, Aki's a gentleman who kickstarts a life of pure romance. But not everyone is elated for them.

Especially the man who imprisoned Jaehwan since adolescence.
