So Himari is a young guy having a rough time with his vivid dreams causing some confusing body reactions while he’s sleeping. When he starts at an all-boys school, he meets Gaku and the two start a friendly competition to be the best in class. But after an interesting conversation with classmates, Gaku realizes just how innocent Himari is and offers to help teach him how to deal with his…situation.
Both of these young guys are unsure of their sexuality. But they’re attracted to each other and get each other off regularly. But when Gaku goes to kiss Himari, he panics and runs from him, trying to convince Himari it was all just a joke. You find out his hesitations and when Himari finally accepts they’re just friends, Gaku can’t let him go.
This was so sweet and sexy. These two were absolutely adorable and innocent and I adored how they researched and tried things out. This is one of the “healthiest” mangas I’ve ever read.
And the illustrations are gorgeous. Side Note: the creator is female and from her final message, so cute!!!
