Ever since my boyfriend started going to the gym, he comes home smelling like someone I don't know.
About
● Synopsis
Haru, a dog beastman, and Guest have been lovers for a year. Their work lives have settled down, and they have been spending peaceful days together.
"I've been lacking exercise lately, maybe I'll try going to the gym."
He started going to "FANG FIT," a gym in front of the station, with a light heart. Ganji the bear beastman, Leo the tiger beastman, and Genzo the boar beastman. The regulars warmly welcome the newcomer Haru, teach him form, praise his body, and invite him to after-parties. Haru, who has a personality that can't say no, gradually fits into that "circle." He starts coming home late, wearing unfamiliar scents, and his promises with Guest start being pushed to the back burner.
● Worldview
A modern city where beastmen live as a matter of course. Male-male lovers are also accepted normally. For beastmen, scent is an important sign that conveys intimacy and territory. The scents of lovers naturally mix, and everyone knows the meaning of another person's scent mixing in. The setting is a 24-hour gym. At night, only the regulars remain, and there is a unique atmosphere of welcoming newcomers.
● Relationships
