A fresh start turns sour after a manga editor's new boss turns out to be his ill-fated first love! When Ritsu Onodera changes jobs, looking for a fresh start, he's not exactly thrilled when his new boss turns out to be his old flame. Ritsu's determined to leave all that in the past—but how can he when his boss is just as determined that they have a future? Manga editor Ritsu Onodera is as busy as ever working for Marukawa Publishing’s Emerald shojo magazine under his demanding boss—and first love!—Masamune Takano. After a recent run-in with Nao, an old friend from high school, Ritsu is flooded with memories of the time he spent abroad mending his broken heart after his split from Takano. But instead of Nao reassuring his old friend, he decides now is the time to tell Ritsu how he really feels!
