Nounai Chicken Burst!

Juuji has been secretly in love with his friend Kumon, his heart racing at every unintentional gesture and word. His mind is constantly in turmoil, on the verge of bursting with unspoken feelings.

Summoning his courage, Juuji finally asks—and Kumon casually admits, "Yeah, I like someone." Just like that, Juuji’s hopes are crushed. He always knew a romance between two guys was impossible, yet deep down, he had still clung to a sliver of hope. Now, forced to confront his feelings, he tries to act as just a friend. But with the biggest event of the year—the school trip—approaching, Juuji’s emotions are anything but calm…!
