12-gatsu no Akeboshi

When 29-year-old illustrator Kei quits his job to rethink his future, his editor friend gives him a bizarre request: move in with the brilliant but notoriously difficult 32-year-old novelist Hijiri Saionji to keep him on schedule—and draw his portrait while he’s at it. With no idea what to expect, Kei travels to the upscale neighborhood and arrives at the doorstep of Hijiri's massive house, only to be met with blatant annoyance and a cold shoulder from the reclusive author. Refusing to back down from this new chapter in his life, Kei resolves to face the prickly writer head-on. But as the two men begin to share a space, Kei discovers there are hidden reasons behind Hijiri’s frozen exterior. Can a stubborn artist melt the heart of a reclusive writer? A cohabitation BL featuring a novelist with zero social skills and an illustrator rediscovering himself! (Source: Manga UP!)
