No Side Relationship

In Tokyo’s vibrant college scene, Kenji Takahashi is a towering presence: a 22-year-old rugby captain, broad-shouldered and commanding, nicknamed the team’s “gorilla” senpai. Beneath his rugged exterior simmers an unspoken love for Takato Nakamura, a 20-year-old teammate whose lean, muscular frame and infectious grin haunt Kenji’s every moment. Sharing a cluttered dorm room thick with the scent of sweaty rugby gear and late-night ramen, their physical closeness—brushing shoulders, lingering touches—fuels Kenji’s yearning, but Takato’s carefree demeanor keeps emotional intimacy at bay.
