Glass Syndrome

Class president Nijou is a talented athlete and popular honor student who struggles to stop meeting everyone else’s expectations. When his teacher asks him to check on Toomi, a classmate who has stopped attending school, the two form an unexpected connection. Toomi sees past Nijou’s diligent facade, and Nijou finds himself drawn to Toomi’s calm, undemanding touch. Then Nijou discovers that Toomi’s frequent absences are connected to his work as an online cam “girl.” Unsure how to bring up what he has learned, Nijou wonders what the discovery will mean for their relationship. The volume also includes the one-shot “Soujikei no Koi (Similar Figures of Love).”
