Tono Arata has lived in the same sleepy seaside town his entire life. Employed at a small IT firm, each day seems to blend into the next. Yet his quiet life is shaken up when his company announces they’ve hired a new employee–a gorgeous blue-eyed Brit named Lewis! At first Tono is taken aback by his foreign colleague’s touchy-feely mannerisms and blunt manner of speaking, but it quickly becomes obvious to him that there’s something unspoken behind those blue eyes that follow him around the office. So when Lewis suddenly asks if Tono remembers him, he’s understandably thrown for a loop. Just who is this hunky ex-pat and how does he know Tono?!
