Never Hollowed By The Stare

Yukkuri Aruite Jyuugofun – Aioiuo

This is a story about two middle school boys of the same age, Tetsu and Yuki, who went to an autumn festival. On the way to the festival at a nearby shrine, Tetsu, wearing a mask for some reason, is in a sulky mood. A Hyottoko mask, a railroad crossing, an unseasonable yukata, and mini-cakes. “A Leisurely 15 Minutes on Foot” to the festival grounds, it’s an extraordinary autumn night that closes the distance between two friends.

15 Minutes If You Walk Slowly is a friends-to-lovers romance between two middle school kids set during the Autumn festival.

It is implied the two MCs are neighbors and/or their families are close enough to consider each other siblings. The one in the mask, Tetsu, is sulking because he’s not getting the attention he wants from the one in yukata, Yuki.

This is my second manga from the author, and it seems their thing is food-centric erotica (Gozen 3:00 no Ice Cream). There is no sex scene here but there is a steamy kissing scene involving candy. Prior to that, it’s super fluffy, a lot of blush-y gazes and an emotional confession.

This is a classic trope delivered very effectively, a super cute one-shot in an idyllic setting with lovely artwork to match.
