    Kono Koi ni Mirai wa Nai – Morihashi Bingo & Suwaru Koko

    Yuji Mase, a university student who is rather popular with girls without his knowledge, taciturn and withdrawn type. In fact, he hides a secret wound that will be revealed during the visit of his sister hairdresser-stylist: he does not feel at ease in this body of a man that he’s in …

    It would have been an interesting story about being trans with disphoria but it’s so slow to the point of dragging. Also I don’t understand the appeal of that womanizing love interest. I like how it ended tho. No fairy tales here.

The next day, he wakes up in the clubroom and realizes that not only did he miss his morning class, but while he was asleep…he’s been holding hands with a stranger, who also happens to be a man — one of the club’s new recruits and Seowoo’s junior, Baek Dohyeon. Drawn into joining the club after seeing him, Dohyeon plans on gaining Seowoo’s affections, even if it is proving to be quite the challenge.

    How did the phrase “Surf with me.” became a connotation for “Sleep with me”? There are strange rumors surrounding Ha Doyoon, and Sung Jin, curious to find the truth behind those rumors, approached him. The events that unfolded during the 3 days that followed only made him more and more confused.

    And just like that, he’s gay.
