This one is for those who like emos, e-girls and rockers, haha. Jokes aside, it's a very short and cute manga!

It tells the story of Haiga, a young man who recently moved and is starting university life. There he joins the Multiphonic Research Club and comes across an impressively mysterious and handsome guy named Kanae (yes, the emo I mentioned at the start). He's fascinated by him and soon finds out Kanae is his senior and in the same club.

Haiga wants to talk to Kanae, but never gets the chance. Kanae is a busy and popular guy, and turns out to be an exceptional musician.

One night, Haiga decides to visit a gay erotic spa, because he has doubts about his sexuality and believes the experience would help him find out whether he's bisexual. He walks into the first building he finds and the attendant books him with the spa's second most popular guy.

When he gets to the room to meet the escort, Haiga discovers that the guy is none other than his senior, the mysterious Kanae, and he's shocked. That officially becomes their first contact. Haiga doesn't go any further with Kanae, deciding just to talk and understand why he sells sex.

After the conversation, Haiga becomes even more fascinated by Kanae and decides to go back often and book him, intending to get to know him better. Kanae is a super calm and reserved guy, but over time he opens up and the two get to know each other more and more, keeping up this double life between the university and the erotic spa.

I recommend it to anyone who likes an unexpected romance. It reminds me a lot of the anime Given, but with 18+ scenes, though I didn't find it very explicit or heavy. It's a really cute manga.
