An enjoyable collection of stories on the theme of hidden self and secret feelings.

When he was a child, Isao was inspired by a florist named Aiko and fell in love with flowers. After saving his father’s company, Isao finally leaves his desk job to realize his lifelong dream of owning a flower shop, opening it in the same location that Aiko’s shop used to be.

Kare to kare no ijiwaru na kyori – Narusaka Rin
Spin off of Kare no Tokubetsu na Kare which involves Sahara and Moriya.
Shigeru & Sahara: Crossdressing is fun. Pining after a guy pining after his childhood friend is not.

Ryouta & Seo: too similar to Back Stage
Tatsuya & Suruga: hmm…I need to read their manga first
