My Dearest Patrolman (Volume 1) Plot

In "My Dearest Patrolman (Volume 1)" Shin's got it bad for Seiji, the hot patrolman who's got everyone in town swooning.

That is until one night, Seiji lets it slip that he’s considering giving guys a try due to his lack of romantic prospects. Talk about a game-changer! Now, Shin's on a mission to win Seiji's heart, and he ain't taking no for an answer.

My Dearest Patrolman Characters

Shin: This dude’s determined and rugged, just like a true biker. He’s been pining for Seiji and finally sees a chance to make his move. Shin's got a heart of gold hidden under all that tough exterior.

Seiji: The patrolman who's got it all—looks, charm, and a touch of vulnerability. Seiji's openness to exploring his romantic options is what sets this whole wild ride into motion.

Why My Dearest Patrolman (Volume 1) is a Gem

When it comes to "My Dearest Patrolman (Volume 1)" Niyama’s characters aren’t your typical pretty boys; they’re real, mature adults dealing with real feelings.

And let’s talk about the humor—"My Dearest Patrolman (Volume 1)" has plenty of silliness to balance out the serious moments. It’s refreshing to see two grown men acting like dorks in love.

Age Gap? No Problem This Time!

There’s a 10-year age difference between Shin and Seiji, with the younger one being 30. This isn’t some weird power dynamic; it’s two adults with life experience finding love and growing together. It’s mature, it’s realistic, and it’s damn beautiful.

Mature Characters: Adults with depth, dealing with life and love in a way that feels authentic.
Humor: Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments to keep things light.
Heartfelt Moments: Genuine emotions and sweet interactions that’ll melt your heart.
