Description

In this new BL one-shot manga, an older city man looking to find solace in a small country library and a curious young librarian who can't help falling for him. A simple, moving story about two men finding common ground despite their overt differences, and the way love can sneak up on you when you least expect it...

In a rural country town where nothing exciting ever happens, a new face suddenly appears at the library: a former city man who starts to show up every week without fail. With each visit, the librarian, Hagiwara, can't help but notice little things about this new regular, Yabumi--his punctuality, his demeanor, his strangely methodical approach to reading every single book by a single author... Slowly, without realizing it, that simple observation blooms into a deeper interest that draws Hagiwara in, until he can't help it! He wants to get to know Yabumi better. But how will he bridge the distance, when there's no talking in the library?
