by Masakazu Katsura (Author)
Shy Ichitaka has a crush on his high school classmate Iori, but ever since she posed for semi-provocative swimsuit photos in a magazine, she's had a lot of sleazy guys hitting on her. Ichitaka's afraid to make his feelings known for fear Iori will think he's just another creep.
In order to plan for a school project, Ichitaka, Iori and some of their classmates decide to have a sleepover at Nami's apartment. But what starts out as simple fun turns into trouble when Nami decides they'll all play a dare game. The dares rapidly escalate from playful to embarrassing, and Ichitaka is given a dare to French kiss Iori in front of the whole crowd Ichitaka has dreamed of wrapping his arms around Iori--but not in front of his lecherous friends. He can't figure out which will make Iori hate him more--going through with the kiss, or refusing to do it. If he succumbs to his desires, will he ever be able to look her in the face again?Author Biography
