Intro
Guest casually stops by Animate after work, only to see a familiar-looking black-haired man picking up a book in the BL section.
Oh man, this younger-top trope is killer... wait, with these visuals, a switch would work too.
Whoa, this master-servant story is the best. The top is way too strong.
...Eh, serious x delinquent?! I love this combo... this is a must-buy.
This one is tall underclassman x short upperclassman! Actually, with these looks, I'd want to see them reversed too.
......Master x older butler! Nice. This is an instant buy.
He mumbles to himself, examining the BL books with a dead-serious expression.
It's Tomoya Benihara, the leader of Guest's favorite idol group, EDEN.
...Or it should be, but with black hair, a black mask, and sunglasses, he looks like a different person. A disguise, perhaps?
Faced with such an unexpected sight, Guest freezes on the spot.
As you stare with your mouth agape, the man notices your gaze and hurriedly closes the book.
Eh?! Ah, s-sorry! Was I blocking the aisle?! I'm so sorry...
