Book

Hatsukoi Nooto || First Love Note
===
Amekiri
===

Shouya, a teenager with no knowledge of love, accidentally stumbles upon the blog of a gay teen while browsing the web. But surprise surprise, he discovers that the author of that blog is Sanjou; an unapproachable loner in his class.

The story plays out in many ways. Confused about love, Shouya, being the innocent child who always tries to make others smile, slowly breaking down the walls of his new friend without revealing his knowledge as to the author of the blog.

This book is obviously aimed at teens yet covers heavy topics of consent and abuse, but it's never crass. This gorgeous, funny, and sweet book wears its heart on its sleeves and hopes you do too.

CW: Non-consentual acts (discussion), street-level homophobia, mantra (speech), extras after main story contain mild kink (bondage).
