Akamatsu and Seven, two young men with explosive personalities, try to maintain an agreed-upon living arrangement while dealing with misunderstandings and the growing attraction between them. After a tense family encounter, their relationship becomes more complex, combining romantic comedy, street fights, and a touch of yakuza thriller.

However, living together gets complicated after Akamatsu's brother interrupts them just as they were about to kiss at his parents' house. This incident adds to a history of intense encounters: Seven already knows that Akamatsu is gay and has witnessed his boldness in the bathroom. The tension between them is palpable, and although they try to resolve things by talking, communication becomes a battlefield where words and gestures get confused. Between brawls, absurd domestic situations, and the shadow of a past linked to the yakuza world, the story moves toward a finale that promises more passion and conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLGBTQ+ relationships and the exploration of sexual identity in a youth context.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eForced cohabitation and the development of emotional bonds between opposite characters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRomantic comedy with elements of action and criminal thriller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConflict between family loyalty and personal feelings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMisunderstandings and non-verbal communication as a driving force of the plot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume is aimed at young adult readers who enjoy yaoi or boys' love manga with a lighthearted, action-packed approach.
