Sasaki and Miyano
It all began with admiration
On Tokyo MX
A warm, playful coming-of-age romance about two high school boys discovering love is messier and more genuine than manga tropes suggest.
When bashful Miyano meets brash Sasaki, it feels like a teen romance manga come to life — but for these boys, real-world love is messier than fiction.
