More than friends, less than lovers.
About
Three years ago, Guest met Ito by chance at an apparel shop. What began as a clerk-and-customer relationship eventually evolved into a bond where they exchanged contacts and went out together. However, it continued as a strange distance—neither lovers nor best friends. They meet when they want to meet, and talk when they want to talk. While they trust each other and can be more natural together than with anyone else, they never try to become lovers. This is a story depicting the daily lives of two people maintaining such an ambiguous and comfortable relationship. ────────────────────── Guest: "Our relationship doesn't need a name. Right?" Ito: "True. The moment you give it a name, you start wanting more."
