Former child actor turned struggling idol Eiri is on the verge of being fired from his agency when he’s handpicked by Shoui, a perfectionist photographer whose model is treated as nothing less—and nothing more—than his muse. As this generation’s muse, Eiri knows that Shoui will sleep with him if he asks, but that won’t melt the icy walls around the notoriously distant genius’s heart. Determined not to fall too deeply in love, Eiri suppresses his feelings for over a decade...until the day a new muse appears. Now Eiri must choose which fear he’s willing to face: potentially being rejected, or losing his only shot before he even has a chance.Suggested 18+

Eiri is due to star as the leading man in two dramas. On the surface, life looks great: now a heartthrob A-list actor and living a satisfying, honeyed life with his genius (and busy) photographer boyfriend, Shoui. But beneath that is a simmering anxiety and the overwhelming pressure not to fail. To add fuel to the fire, his new costar is none other than Togawa Jin, the younger, problematic actor who was forced to lie low after an assault incident two years prior. From the very first day they meet, Togawa makes no effort to hide his hostility toward Eiri, openingly glaring and trying to pick fights. The dramatic industry-based love story returns with more twists and turns in volume 2!
