Description

Two rather long-awaited encounters unfold in this installment of Fumi Yoshinaga's heartwarming slice-of-gay-life series. After fifteen years of living together, Shiro meets Kenji's family for the first time over dinner at a high-end unagi restaurant. Meanwhile, Kenji finally gets to know Kayoko, one of Shiro's few friends, after a chance encounter at the supermarket. A rare argument breaks out, and circumstances both at work and at home continue to change for Shiro, but what remains a constant is the hearty meals the two of them share at the end of each day.
