    Summary

    Kageyama Tobio only loves a few things in life: computers, movies, and interacting with other people as little as possible. So when he meets hotel employee Hinata Shouyou on a work trip and doesn't immediately hate him, it comes as something of a shock. Hinata is everything Tobio isn't—outgoing, worldly, and sexy AF. Even more surprising is the part where Hinata seems to be just as interested in him in return, plunging Tobio into the kind of whirlwind attraction he's only ever seen in films, and certainly never experienced for himself.

    Tobio doesn't know why Hinata would want anything to do with him, but he can't stop himself from falling for Hinata's movie star-level charisma… and the air of mystery that surrounds him. Because for all their chemistry, there's something holding Hinata back, making him push Tobio away.

    But Tobio is used to keeping people at arm's length, so he might be able to figure out how to get Hinata to let his guard down—and prove that he can be more than just some nerd Hinata met on the job.

    Disappointing Performance by ETHER Activewear's Karahura Kakeru

    ETHER's Prodigious Star, Already Burning Out?

    Comody Iida Races Ahead in New Year Ekiden Qualifier, ETHER Activewear Struggles to Meet Projections

    Kurahara Kakeru's career takes an inexplicable nose dive, risking his sponsorship and place on his company team.

    An unprecedented PR stunt gives Kakeru the chance to reclaim himself and his running career. The objective? Make it to the Olympics and break from the mould of the marathon tradition. Instead, Kakeru is tasked with popularizing the 10km event and become the face for upcoming activewear brand ETHER in the process.

    An exploration into recovery, love, loss, injury, disability, and overall questioning what it means to be an athlete. More specifically, what exists for athletes when there is no overcoming to be had? What is the double-meaning of athletic performance? And eventually, how can embracing brokenness set us free?

    Summary

    From the moment the Emperor rests his eyes on the innkeeper's young son, Yuuri's fate is sealed. To escape what awaits him once His Imperial Majesty tires of his face, praying to the powers he knows not, Yuuri makes a deal he will come to regret. It will take him a century to do so, and then three more to realize that in the end he made the right choice – one that allowed him to find the man who meets him where he is, and who loves him in spite of the curse laid upon him.

    Summary

    As usual, when he lets Haiji have his way, the reward is swift to follow. Haiji lets out a soft exhale, like he was holding his breath, and presses closer to trail his lips against Kakeru's jaw, his cheek. Kakeru reflexively reaches out for him, arms slipping around Haiji to hold him, nervousness falling away.

    "I want to be in charge of… of making you feel… good," he mumbles, a little lost already in the oncoming sensation of Haiji warm against him, kissing him, wanting him back.

    Haiji's lips are soft on his, but they make him shake like a leaf in the wind. "Take whatever you want," Haiji tells him. "I'll give it to you."

    --

    Simply put, Haiji is stunning, and Kakeru wants to take every opportunity to learn him. Even (especially) if it means leaving Haiji feeling a little overwhelmed.

    Summary

    Kakeru gets an ear piecing.
    Also known as: The three times Haiji didn’t seem to notice Kakeru’s new earring and the one time he definitely did.

    When the twins announce that they’ve planned a special three-day-two-night reunion getaway over the weekend for the original Kansei Ten just before graduation, Kakeru is hit with something that feels like a mix of nervous butterflies in his stomach and the overwhelming urge to throw up. [...] Kakeru had decided that when it came to standing out to the single and available, Yuki was the prime person to seek advice from on the matter. He didn’t mention Haiji, just that he was thinking of changing up his look.
