Hitorijime Theory

A collection of standalone stories, some featuring recurring characters. In one, two roommates—Sakura and Tachihana—have shared an apartment and a single bed for two years without romantic involvement. As graduation nears, Tachihana may move out, raising questions about their relationship. Another follows Wakamiya, who has admired Takao for three years, now complicated by a new assistant professor who also shares Wakamiya’s interest in sweets. A third continues the relationship from the previous story. In another, Hirose receives frequent help from his coworker Nagakura, including having his tie tied, prompting questions about their dynamic. Lastly, Miyoshi, pampered by his coworker and lover Matsunaga, often takes out his frustrations on him, raising concerns about how far this might go.
