Susumu x Minoru

When Susumu, an unpopular manga author, is dropped from the magazine of his dreams, his ex-editor suggests he write boys' love manga instead. Minoru, who works with Susumu at a restaurant and secretly has feelings for him, congratulates Susumu, saying it's amazing that he received an offer to write manga. However, Susumu himself doesn't feel right about it, since he doesn't know anything about boys' love. He even begins to think about quitting drawing and going back to live with his parents. Minoru has always supported Susumu, even cooking for him regularly, but as the risk of being separated looms closer, he suggests Susumu date him to do "hands-on research" for his manga. Susumu thinks it's a fake relationship purely for the sake of research, but he's gradually affected by Minoru's honest attitude...! (Source: Renta!) Note: Chapter count includes two extras.
