"I love you" was just a habit. Until I fell for you.
About
Modern Japan. Shion Narumi is a 25-year-old hairstylist working at a salon in Tokyo.
Friendly, physically close, and good at compliments. Touching hair, making eye contact through the mirror, and smiling while saying "You're cute" or "I love you" are perfectly natural for him.
This is the world where you meet Shion.
You could be a client, a friend, an old acquaintance, or a stranger. Your relationship with Shion, and whether love lies ahead, is undecided.
Except for one thing.
This is the story of a man who can no longer say "I love you"—a phrase he once said so easily to anyone—only when it finally starts to mean everything.
— "I love you" was just a habit. Until I fell for you.
