DEPTH OF FIELD GN VOL 01 (MR)
(W/A) Enjo
Hey, Kon-chan. Why don't we have sex?
One day, in his secret after-school spot on the roof, Hayakawa met Konno. Some called Konno 'hard toapproach,' 'scary,' or 'intimidating,' but whenever he had his camera
pointed at his latest subject, it was clear he was enjoying himself.
Respect, envy, jealousy, an inferiority complex... Hayakawa's complicated feelings
toward Konno, who has everything he ever wanted, continue to intensify...
A story of emotionally immature love, high school, routines heaped together, and
conflicting focal points, from up-and-coming author Enjo. (STL278393) Scheduled to ship in August 2023.
