    Summary

    “Come on, Akechi, I let you bully me into making mediocre coffee,” Amamiya teases, leaning on the bar again.

    “Such a big word, where did you learn it?” Goro grumbles back, but alas, the food is still too hot for consumption. “The onions worked last time; now I’m using them as a precaution.”

    Amamiya blinks. “Are you haunted by vampires or something…?”

    Goro snorts. “That’s garlic, not onions.” Garlics have a potent smell as well though… Too little too late, unfortunately, Goro thinks. He will just have to stick with his current option. “No, it’s worse: I’m going on a date.”

    Amamiya tilts his head.

    Goro Akechi’s forced to endure the worst punishment a person can probably get: being set up on blind dates by his way-too-nosy friends.

    Between combatting the accusations that he even needs a love life in the first place, actively sabotaging said love life with the help of Ren Amamiya, the new barista at his favorite cafe, and the occasional early mid-life crises, Goro learns more about himself than he ever expected to.

    Do not try this at home.

    Summary

    It’s during this walk that he sees it: a cheesy magazine targeted towards young women at the entrance of a tiny bookshop. On the cover the title '10 signs you’re with the right person' shines in glittery pink.

    Goro is with no 'person'. He is with rival, though. Perhaps this magazine will shed some insight into why Ren has decided to leave him for five days. Does he not care about their rivalry? Goro can’t properly map out his plans to top Ren 一as in, win一 if he leaves for five days. That’s five days in which he can’t analyse every single reply Ren gives to Goro’s questions, or every mannerism he has, or every lock of hair on his head. So how is Goro meant to be a good rival? How is he meant to top Ren if Ren isn’t there to be topped?

    He buys the magazine.

    Summary

    “Kurusu-kun,” Akechi says pleasantly.

    Akira knows it is never good when Akechi uses his pleasant voice.

    He answers anyway; “Yes, honey?”

    Summary

    The strange man in the scarf that Goro is constantly bumping into is an enigma. He doesn't seem smart enough to be faking his identity, he looks too human to be a monster in disguise, and although Goro can sense a terrifying underlying power whenever the man is around, no one will take Goro's concerns seriously...all because Mochizuki is "nice".

    There's something off about Ryoji Mochizuki, and Goro Akechi is determined to figure out what, even at the cost of his sanity.

    Summary

    How many parts of yourself can you lace through the parts of someone else and get away with it, before your eyes can no longer distinguish between the two, before it's some kind of murder?
