Asterisk

Youichi Sawa is a college student who develops feelings for Nanao, a ballet student he tutors. Nanao is kind yet conceited and already in a relationship. When Nanao invites Youichi to engage in a sexual encounter, Youichi cannot say no. What begins as a purely physical connection gradually evolves into a decade-long narrative involving love, loss, and eventual reconnection. The story includes two additional chapters.
