For Arata, it's always been Shotaro.

Shotaro is handsome, popular, and a basketball club star—not to mention Arata's childhood friend. Every time a classmate confesses to Shotaro, Arata can only hide around the corner and eavesdrop as Shotaro turns them all down one by one. As a member of the photography club, Arata takes photos of Shotaro, hiding his feelings behind the safety of his camera lens... until the day Shotaro reveals that he likes someone, and that someone just happens to be Arata. For Shotaro, it's always been Arata. In spite of social stigmas, will Arata and Shotaro be able to move their relationship out of the darkroom and into the light...?
