The Host with a Little Boy and His Fantastic Neighbor

Nightclub host Seiya is raising Tenma, the child of his late sister, with his neighbor and boyfriend Ibuki, who is a novelist. Their secret relationship is known only to a very few, but the days they spend as three are sweet and happy. One day, a first-time client visits the nightclub where Seiya works. The young man seems inexperienced and turns out to be Ibuki’s younger brother, who mistakenly believes hosts are deceiving his older brother. When even Tenma’s existence becomes known, Seiya struggles alone with his worries. Concerned, Ibuki suggests, “Let’s spend more time together as three of us. I want to be with you more.” Seiya realizes once again that life without Ibuki is unimaginable.
