Self-indulgent Vanilla

Synopsis

Around campus, Ikuse is a notorious bookworm, focused solely on literature. Kazami, a master of none, simply wants to enjoy his college life. One day in the cafeteria they strike up a conversation and their friendship takes off. Kazami learns of Ikuse's interest in BDSM, and they begin to explore the fetish. Lost in pleasure, Ikuse blurts out his true desire, but he is turned down. Unable to face Kazami, Ikuse severs his ties with him. Years later, he still can't forget about him. Now, an editor, what sits on his desk is none other than Kazami's manuscript. Can Ikuse look beyond the past and nurture Kazami's talent as his editor? Can they move forward, or are they doomed to repeat the past? (Source: Houbunsha)
