- 5 SandalDash Games You Can Buy on DLsite Right Now
Masked warriors, emotional breakdowns, historical heartbreak, and cafe dates between battles? Yeah, Sandaldash Games are doing something a little different. Their visual novels don’t just dabble in romance—they throw it into warzones, political upheaval, and power struggles with men who are just as broken as they are devoted. If you’re new to this brand or just trying to figure out what to play next, here’s the breakdown of their BL releases all packed with heart, betrayal, and just enough shirtless swordfighting to keep things interesting. GuiSard Masked heroes. Weaponized trauma. Mechas and misunderstandings. This is your entry point into the Guisard series think sentai squad energy but with tangled emotions, enemy betrayal, and a dose of late-night arcade therapy. A group of young men don masks to fight against Ganglion, a shady organization running twisted body-modification experiments. It starts with a mission. But as the battles stack up, so do the cracks. Trust collapses. Grief turns physical. And before long, these fighters are leaning on each other for more than just backup. There’s a lot going on: past betrayals, explosive fights, and a soft escape in the form of their home base café “Sandal Dash.” It’s messy in all the ways a BL action drama should be. Highlights: Tohru (Red) is your hot-blooded, emotionally chaotic lead with a big heart and fists to match. Aoki (Blue) is the tired best friend trying to keep everyone from falling apart, while slowly unraveling himself. Their enemies? Not as evil as they seem… and sometimes a little too close for comfort. Vibe check: It’s Power Rangers with emotional breakdowns and unexpected sexual tension. No one’s okay, and that's the point. Guisard Shuffle The aftermath. The grief. The second round. Guisard Shuffle drops the team into the "what happens after" phase. The world didn’t magically fix itself after the last fight. Some friends didn’t make it. Others are trying to pretend they’re fine. It’s quieter, but heavier. The survivors are learning how to move forward… until, of course, they’re dragged back into it. A new threat shows up, old wounds get opened, and the group has to face the reality that maybe peace was never meant for them. But this time, they’re not just fighting enemies, they’re fighting for each other. New faces and old flames: Hisui (Green) joins the crew, a quiet, memory-wiped ex-Ganglion who works in the same café that saw all their breakdowns. Juliano, a rose, loving narcissist who’s chaotic-good but constantly poking at Yu and Tohru's trauma like it’s a hobby. Why it hits: It doesn’t just rehash the original—it builds on it. This is the “we survived but we’re not healed” arc, and it pulls no punches. The Wings of Love Beyond the Thistle Series Historical BL with war, betrayal, and painful longing. Set during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, this trilogy of visual novels from Sandaldash Games swaps masks for royal robes. The drama? Still messy. The romance? Still complicated. Across three connected titles, Unfinished Cause , Eternal Thoughts and A Dream of Love , you’ll follow the rise, fall, and desperate escape of princes, generals, and assassins who’ve all tied their fates (and bodies) together in a time of political chaos. Here’s the setup: Zhao Kou is a gentle prince forced to flee after a coup, protected by Guo Wai , a loyal general he’s loved since childhood. Their escape turns into a war to reclaim the throne—with a tangled web of affection, jealousy, and obsession between them. Meanwhile, the scheming Zizhi (Prime Minister and stepchild to Guo Wai) plots from the shadows, not for power—but for Guo Wai’s love. Each entry adds more: Unfinished Cause kicks off the betrayal. Eternal Thoughts brings new characters into the fold and complicates everything with shifting alliances and forbidden longing. A Dream of Love explores deeper rivalries and secret feelings. Why play it? Because no one does the “I’d kill for you, I’d die for you, and I still don’t know if you love me back” dynamic like this series. The politics are sharp, the romance is brutal, and the payoff is worth the ache. Final Take on SandalDash Games If you're into Boys Love visual novels that go beyond the basics, Sandaldash Games delivers. These games don’t just tell a love story. they drag it through war, death, and recovery. Ready to dive in? Start with Guisard and let the emotional destruction begin.

- Interview with Juice Anime: Animator Behind Naughty Romantic Comedies!
We had the pleasure of chatting with Juice Anime the Brazilian animator making naughty romantic comedies! Here you will learn all about their work, goals for their animations and more about what you can expect to see! Before you go on be sure to follow them on X @Juiceanime18 1. juice anime, Tell us about your work ? Juice Anime came from a childhood desire of mine to write stories. I found in NSFW a way to monetize this work and make it possible. Even today you can find our animations on pornhub and xvideos, my intention when creating them is that the viewer can watch them with or without clothes and that it be a pleasant experience in both ways. (I hope it's working out lol) I also really like writing comedies, so the element of humor is always in everything I do. At first there was a strange feeling from some of the public who expected perhaps more sex scenes in the animations, but little by little people began to understand our work. A supporter recently described Juice Anime's animations as "naughty romantic comedies", I loved it lol... I think that's the best definition 2. What can fans of BL expect to see from you? That's a tough question, huh... Lol, let's go, I think that even though they are fictional and playful works, there is an effort in all the stories, both in Retreat, Hostel, Kaue and Send me Stars, so that people can identify with the characters, you know... with their experiences, their insecurities, their flirtations, their flaws and even with the characters' bodies, their physical appearance, they are different bodies and everyone can be interesting and desirable. I think you can expect good stories and good laughs with the characters. I'm a Brazilian artist, so even though I have a clear influence on anime, I make a point of putting a lot of Brazilianness into the characters, a lot of our culture. The dubbing, for example, which could be in English, I chose to do it in Portuguese so that the voice actors (all real Brazilian actors) feel more comfortable and convey this truth in the dialogues, the comedy and also the slutty stuff (Why not? Lol). There are issues in the animations that don't necessarily involve homosexual relationships but rather the experience of a homosexual, the difficulties, you know, of being a gay man in certain environments, in relationships with a not-so-welcoming family, or characters who grew up in a Christian environment. Again, it's my attempt to make people feel represented in the animations and of course I always try to bring this without weighing down the atmosphere too much, because they are still "naughty romantic comedies". Short answer: expect naughty romantic comedies 3. What has been your favorite project to work on? Another difficult question... I have a special affection for Hostel. It was the one that showed me as an artist which path I should follow, and it was through it that I became certain that there was an audience in need of this type of content. It also gave me the confidence to tell stories and that sex didn't need to be happening all the time. I thought: It's okay... they're still watching... so I'll delve a little deeper into the characters' stories... And it was incredible I think that as an anime, Hostel is still the most important. However... lol I personally like Send me Stars a little more Which has a slower pace, it was the series where I allowed myself to develop the characters and the characters' relationships well, and all of this took time (it still does, the series is only halfway through) and people embraced it, they ship the characters, they root for them, I think it's so cute lol and I'm very happy. 4. Who is your personal favorite character from your animations? I think Mike, from Send me Stars. He's been a good expectation-breaker for people, with each episode people see how vulnerable he is and how strong he is at the same time. Besides being a well of charisma and sarcasm, much of this is more the voice actor's fault (KHAO) than mine, lol, I'm nothing without them. 5. Goals for your work? I think that bringing entertainment to gays who are adults and want to watch a BL that's a little bit more naughty and, above all, they can point to a character and say "I would be that guy!" I intend to continue improving the style and consistency of the animations, it's not easy, they are 10-20 minute episodes, illustrated by just one man, but I'll get there slowly. 6. Where can folks support your work? People can follow everything on Juice Anime's Patreon, it's easy to find. Another alternative that I initially created exclusively for Brazilians was an account on the website http://Privacy.com.br with the profile @JuiceAnime where I post the same content as on Patreon but at a more accessible price on a less bureaucratic platform. Today, anyone from anywhere in the world can subscribe to Privacy if they want. Another thing I insist on is to continue posting full episodes for free on xvideos and Pornhub. There's a lot of content there for those who can't pay to watch. There's a few months delay between the launch of a paid platform and a free one, but it was the best way I found to keep the people who enjoy our work well-fed with content. Lol Most importantly, follow me on X @Juiceanime18 . You can find everything there. I'm always posting new stuff there. I'm very grateful for the invitation. I loved it! Thank you very much! Big hug to all the Boys Love fans <3
- MR.GIANCARLO “THE BOSS”: A Mafia Boys Love Visual Novel
In this re-released memory pack from Tennenouji, MR.GIANCARLO The Boss takes us back to the shadowy glam of the Prohibition era, where backroom deals and dangerous liaisons run hot. The game collects almost every scenario from the original release, now bundled together with a brand new addition: the Unbroken Chain storyline. If you’ve ever wanted to see just how chaotic a lucky bastard like Giancarlo can get, this is your invitation. What is MR.GIANCARLO "THE BOSS"? Is this Boys Love Game worth playing? The Setup The story kicks off with the CR:5 mafia group in trouble, four of its young executives have been arrested. But our boy Giancarlo? He’s living his best life, slinking through bars, charming the pants off strangers, and dodging responsibility like a champ. He’s not exactly the type to play the hero, but when he finds out there's a fat opportunity to rise to the top if he breaks the boys out, things start to shift. That’s where his wild card energy comes in "Lucky Dog" is more than just a nickname. The Tone This isn’t your typical Boys Love setup. MR.GIANCARLO The Boss as a Boys Love game blends erotic tension with mafia chaos, wrapped up in a gritty, noir-like setting. The men here aren’t walking clichés they’re morally grey, dangerous, and often unpredictable. Giancarlo himself is a fascinating lead not too deep, not too distant, and a whole lot of trouble. His playful, impulsive nature is what drives the entire game, and the way he bounces off the other CR:5 members makes every route worth exploring. New Additions The Unbroken Chain scenario stands out, written specifically for this memory pack. It dives into darker emotional territory, showing cracks in Giancarlo’s mask. The new content doesn’t just feel like bonus fluff it actually adds to his character and gives fans something a little meatier to chew on, without losing that energy he’s known for. Visuals and Presentation The art holds up. Giancarlo and his crew all have their own defined styles, ranging from sleek mafia fashion to unbuttoned chaos. The sex scenes aren’t subtle they hit hard, stay messy, and lean into the boldness you’d expect from a Boys Love game with stakes this high. But it’s not all about the bed. These characters throw punches and shade in equal measure, keeping the story grounded in its crime roots. Why It Sticks There are plenty of visual novels in the Boys Love space, but this one still feels distinct. The combination of crime drama, sharp-tongued humor, and unapologetic sex makes it stand apart. You’re not dealing with angst or wishy-washy flirting here MR.GIANCARLO The Boss as a Boys Love game throws you headfirst into a world where your choices actually feel like they’ve got weight. Plus, Giancarlo himself is such a slippery, entertaining lead that you’ll want to see every possible ending… good, bad, or straight-up deranged. Final Take on MR.GIANCARLO "THE BOSS" As a Boys Love game If you're stepping into CR:5’s world for the first time, or just want a solid pickup for fans of crime-fueled erotic storytelling, then this is for you. Tennenouji packed in a lot here especially with the story. Just don’t expect to play it safe. This world runs on lust, loyalty, and luck… and Giancarlo’s got more than enough of the last one to keep you guessing.
- Enchain by Pain: Muscle Worship and Royal Obsession
Enchain by Pain is one Bara Manga you need to check out. Danga is the type of guy who looks like he could knock down a castle door without breaking a sweat, and still bows like he’s reporting for duty. He’s massive, dead serious, and all about staying in line. But after waking up from a dream where he basically ravishes his own prince? Yeah, the guy’s spiraling. You can see it in the sweat, the pacing, the way he avoids even looking at Prince Rheuos. The guilt eats at him, and he starts pulling away fast. What is Enchain by Pain? The Prince Knows Something’s Up In Enchain by Pain, Prince Rheuos is a handful. Loud, expressive, clingy and he’s definitely not dumb. The second Danga avoids him, Rheuos senses it. His reaction? Push harder. He wants answers, and he's not going to wait politely for them. His approach turns real fast from frustrated to commanding. He flips the situation on its head and puts Danga in a place where he has to come clean… and not just with words. Control, Confession, and Roped-Up Truths Rheuos doesn’t waste time. He strips away every ounce of Danga’s usual composure literally and mentally. It’s not just about teasing or punishing him. He forces Danga to admit what he’s feeling, even when Danga's doing everything to deny it. This isn’t soft or gentle, it’s dominating, blunt, and fully in-your-face. Danga’s been hiding how much he wants Rheuos, and Rheuos? He’s got no interest in letting him pretend anymore. Big Men, Bigger Panels The art doesn’t hold back in Enchain by Pain. Every muscle, every tug of rope, every breathless expression is huge and intense. Danga’s body is drawn like a fortress cracking open, while Rheuos is all sharp grins and bold moves. It’s raw, bold, and direct. You don’t need words to feel the tension, each panel says plenty. And once the rope and blindfolds come into play, it just builds more and more until there’s nothing left but honesty and heat. Duty vs. Desire What makes Enchain by Pain more than just a steamy one-shot is that it never forgets the weight behind all this. Danga’s loyalty isn’t a casual thing—it’s his everything . Which makes it even harder for him to admit that what he wants might not be so noble. Meanwhile, Rheuos just wants the one person he actually trusts to look at him—not as a prince, but as someone worth craving. When they finally meet on that level, it hits harder than any command. Final Thought on Enchain Enchain doesn’t just bind bodies—it forces feelings out of hiding. And Danga, poor guy, doesn’t stand a chance once Rheuos decides it’s time to make him talk with more than just his mouth. Want more Bara Manga? Check out our Bara Manga section on Boys Love Universe.
- Naoto and Tomoyuki – Dads With Benefits: When the Suburbs Get Too Friendly
Naoto’s life is pretty much settled. He’s got the house, the job, the marriage, the kid. He’s not unhappy, but something’s clearly off. His wife isn’t interested in sex anymore, and honestly? He’s not even sure if he is either. That is, until another dad from the neighborhood enters the picture, and suddenly things start stirring again. What is Naoto and Tomoyuki – Dads With Benefits? This is Naoto and Tomoyuki – Dads With Benefits , a Bara manga that skips the dramatic build-up and gets straight to what it’s about: two suburban fathers figuring out something physical (and maybe more) behind closed doors. It Starts With a Look Tomoyuki’s the new dad around town. Confident, good-looking, tall, and definitely carrying a vibe. He’s friendly in all the ways that make Naoto flustered. There’s no hiding it: Tomoyuki knows how to push buttons, and Naoto, as buttoned-up as he is, reacts. From the start, Tomoyuki’s physical presence takes up space in every panel, wide shoulders, casual smirk, the way he stands just a little too close. And Naoto? He’s clearly out of his element, but doesn’t pull away. The tension kicks off right away and doesn’t let up. Neighborhood Barbecue Turned Private Session It doesn’t take long before Tomoyuki makes the first move. What starts off as casual conversation about marriage and dissatisfaction quickly becomes a proposition. Tomoyuki’s blunt. He tells Naoto he’s horny all the time, his wife’s never around, and hey, maybe they can help each other out. Naoto hesitates, but curiosity, or something deeper, wins out. The next panel? Shirts off, mouths locked, and Naoto finally letting go of whatever he’s been holding back. The art doesn’t play coy, this is straight-up erotic and raw, but not just for the sake of it. There’s weight behind every move. No Excuses, Just Messy Reality Neither of these men are trying to label what they’re doing. There’s no talk of “coming out” or long-winded emotional monologues. It’s about need, timing, and figuring out what feels right, even if it’s temporary or undefined. The storytelling doesn’t over-romanticize. These are grown men with families, responsibilities, and routines, and somehow they’re carving out a quiet, physical connection in the middle of it all. You’ll see quick check-ins, glances across the street, text messages that turn into late-night visits. It’s discreet, controlled chaos, but never feels overly dramatic. Still Married, Still Hooking Up The second volume doubles down. The relationship keeps happening, even as Naoto tries to keep up appearances with his wife. Which brings in the drama. There are a few moments where guilt creeps in, but the manga doesn’t frame it with heavy moralizing. It’s more about the conflict between routine and impulse. Tomoyuki’s still cool about the whole thing. He never pressures, but he also doesn’t hide what he wants. He wants Naoto, and he’s not shy about saying it, sometimes with words, but mostly with hands and hips. What Are They, Really? Are they friends? FWB? Potential future gay partners? Something more? The story doesn’t define it. But by the end of the second volume, there’s an unspoken understanding between them. They keep meeting. They keep going. And maybe that’s enough for now. There’s no big fight, no dramatic fallout. It’s just two men navigating something that isn’t quite love, but definitely isn’t nothing. And it’s all drawn with that clean, heavy-lined Bara style that focuses on real adult bodies, thick, muscled, and expressive in all the right ways. Final Take on Naoto and Tomoyuki – Dads With Benefits Naoto and Tomoyuki – Dads With Benefits isn’t about fantasy or fluff. It’s about two men at a weird crossroads in their lives who happen to find something in each other that they’re not getting anywhere else. It’s grounded, bold, and honest about the messiness of desire when you’re not 20 anymore and life’s already been mapped out. It’s not trying to solve anything, it’s just showing what happens when things shift. And yeah, there’s sex. A lot of it. But what sticks is the way these dads don’t overthink it. They just feel it.

- My Only Friend’s a Smokin’ Snack: When the Gym Buddy Gets a Little Too Real
In My Only Friend’s a Smokin’ Snack from Hide, our protagonist walks into this story like he’s got it all figured out. Muscles? Check. Style? Not bad. Confidence? A little shaky, but loud enough to cover it. And yet, dating never seems to go right. It’s not that he doesn’t try, he’s just tired of figuring it out alone. Which brings him to his best (and only) friend, a straight-up gym rat with a soft heart and some time to listen. And that’s where this story kicks in. Not with fireworks, but with a cup of coffee and a casual conversation that starts veering off the usual track. My Only Friend’s a Smokin’ Snack Plot The guy he’s into… might be the guy right in front of him? What starts as a “help me figure out dating” convo turns into something way more personal. He starts listing what he wants in a guy, someone who can hang, who’s got a good body, who doesn’t make things weird when it gets quiet. And before he even notices it, his friend’s laughing and saying, “You just described me.” Then he drops the kicker: “Why don’t we try dating?” No big fuss. Just that. Like trying out a new workout routine. Like it’s normal. And maybe, for them, it is. Flirting masked as jokes, and jokes that feel too honest There’s no dramatic pacing or emotional monologue. This story lives in the small stuff, side glances, playful teasing, the kind of roast that only lands because there’s trust underneath it. You can tell these two care about each other. Even when one’s clearly uncomfortable or panicking, the other meets him with warmth. With patience. With a smile that says, “I’ll still be here when you’re done overthinking.” It’s not about crossing some big romantic threshold. It’s about sitting beside someone who makes things feel lighter. And maybe, just maybe, letting your guard down for once. My Only Friend’s a Smokin’ Snack is a slow burn without the drama My Only Friend’s a Smokin’ Snack doesn’t aim for drama. It doesn’t overcomplicate anything. It just rides that weird space between friendship and something more, and lets the characters fumble their way through it. It’s light, funny, and warm in a way that doesn’t try to impress you. The pacing is casual, the expressions do a lot of heavy lifting, and it all wraps up with a gentle, “Let’s talk again soon.” Because sometimes, that’s how these things start. Final thoughts on My Only Friend’s a Smokin’ Snack If you’re looking for slow tension, big emotions, or declarations of love this one isn’t trying to be that. But if you want a story where two bros sit down, talk about dating, and realize they might just fit together better than they thought? This one’s worth the read. It’s simple. It’s charming. It doesn’t rush. And by the end, it leaves you quietly hoping they’ll meet for coffee again. Just like always. Want more Bara Manga reviews?

- Ookami Shounen to Ham no Hito: Graduation, Secrets, and That One Drunk Kiss
Let’s talk about this slice of post-high school chaos Ookami Shounen to Ham no Hito (狼少年與火腿人) by Mentaiko Itto. It’s got over 50 pages of banter, booze, unspoken feelings, and that weird, raw tension between two boys who aren’t quite ready to admit what’s really going on. This isn’t your average high school BL story. It’s messy, loud, emotional and way too real for comfort. What is Ookami Shounen to Ham no Hito (狼少年與火腿人)? Meet Yongda: Mr. “I’m Totally Into Girls, I Swear” Yongda is that dude. The kind who’s always cracking jokes, puffing up his chest, loudly talking about how hot girls are just to make sure no one looks too closely. From the start, he’s already doing backflips trying to convince himself (and everyone else) he’s straight as an arrow. But behind that goofy grin and swagger, the guy is seriously lost. We get a glimpse of it early—he's goofing around, flipping through a muscle mag, shouting nonsense about male idols. His friends? Laughing it off. Gonghe? Watching quietly. That tension brews across the pages like a soda about to pop. The Big Night: Alcohol, Laughter, and One Very Loud Truth Fast forward to graduation night, and the crew is tossing back drinks, reminiscing, and acting like the world isn’t about to pull them all in different directions. Yongda’s talking big dreams, Tokyo this, big city that. But it’s all noise. You can tell he’s scared. Gonghe’s still quiet—but he's steady. Calm. Then it happens. That one clumsy, heat-of-the-moment kiss. Yongda practically tackles Gonghe and plants one on him in front of everyone. The room explodes into chaos, drinks spill, friends holler, and Gonghe just… accepts it. Yongda plays it off, of course. “Haha, what? I’m just drunk, bro.” But that smile he makes after? Yeah, it’s not a joke. Ookami Shounen to Ham no Hito (狼少年與火腿人) Hits Different Throughout the story, you see Yongda caught between everything he wants and everything he thinks he’s supposed to be. He tries to talk over his own feelings, act like nothing happened, shove it all down with jokes. But Gonghe? Gonghe’s done pretending. There’s this calm honesty to him that makes Yongda squirm, and it's honestly the best part of their dynamic. One panel just wrecks you: Gonghe standing in the middle of the room, silent, while Yongda pretends he’s still fine. But you can see it all over his face. He’s not fine. Why It Hits So Hard This isn’t some fairy tale where everything wraps up with a neat little bow. Mentaiko Itto keeps it real. Yongda isn’t some perfect character who magically figures himself out after one kiss. He’s awkward. He’s scared. And he keeps tripping over his own lies. But that’s what makes the story work. It’s about the moments after something huge happens—the quiet between two people who aren’t sure if they’re brave enough to face each other honestly. Final Thoughts on Ookami Shounen to Ham no Hito (狼少年與火腿人) If you’ve ever felt like you had to act a certain way to survive school or friendship or expectations, this one’s gonna hit deep. It’s not about a romance with flowers and sparkles. It’s about learning to breathe when the mask slips. It’s about the second you realize you want something, but you’re terrified of what that means. And hey, if you’re here for Mentaiko Itto’s style, strong lines, expressive faces, emotionally charged silence, it’s all here. But the real win? A perfectly balanced slice-of-life story.

- Crave Saga X: Master of Bonds: Buff, Blessed, and Built to Bond
You die, get yeeted into a parallel world called Vestria , and wake up surrounded by chiseled warriors, beastmen with thighs like tree trunks, and heavenly men who glow like they bench-press planets. Welcome to Crave Saga X: Master of Bonds , where the only rule is: protect the world through the power of hot men and stronger emotional connections . This is a game that isn’t shy about what it is. It’s a turn-based RPG where your squad is stacked (literally), your choices matter, and every character’s got a story worth thirsting. Welcome to Vestria: A World Full of Men, Magic, and Muscles Crave Saga X: Master of Bonds Trailer Vestria is a parallel world where only men exist. And not just regular guys we’re talking divine angels, twisted demons, warriors, beastmen, spellcasters, you name it. The whole place is caught between two powers: the angels pushing for peace and perfection, and the demons who... well, let’s just say they’re into chaos and carnal vibes. You’re dropped right into this war of ideologies as The Master , reincarnated by both the God of Creation and Arche the original God King. Your mission? Save the world. Your method? Bonds . And a lot of shirtless battles along the way. Crave Saga X: Master of Bonds Gameplay Turn-Based Combat That Hits Hard (and Looks Hot) Crave Saga X brings in classic turn-based gameplay that’s easy to get into but deceptively deep. You’re not just picking attacks you’re setting up combo moves , coordinating abilities , and calling in Sacreds (summons so powerful they literally light up the battlefield). It’s fast. It’s fluid. And every move feels personal because the characters doing it aren’t just pretty sprites they’ve got stories, loyalties, and emotional baggage bigger than their biceps. Raid Battles: Bring the Bros and Burn Down the Bosses Sometimes it takes more than one hot guy to take down a demon god. That’s where raid battles come in. Link up with other players, sync your skills, and bring the pain to massive enemies that would flatten you solo. This isn’t a button-masher you’ll need to coordinate timing, power-ups, and sacred summons to survive. The raid fights are some of the game’s best action moments, and honestly?

About HIS SOUL-FREEZING CATHARSIS (I used to think I could live my life alone...) Shin Kujo's a young man who went through a horrible tragedy when he was a kid. Because of that, everyone around him treated him like a freak, so he learned to be distant from others to protect himself. But, one day, at his college entrance ceremony, he meets Hayate Hinohara, one of his classmates, and this changes his whole life. Despite Shin being the way he is, Hayate smiles and laughs with him in an innocent, friendly manner. And, even when Hayate finds out about his past, he still treats Shin the same way, which confuses Shin at first, but he then starts to develop feelings for Hayate.
