Otte Otte, Koi wo Shite

Makoto Ishida, a warehouse employee, has been secretly following his coworker Arata Yoshimoto, observing him through his glasses and taking photos. He even relocated to a room beneath Arata’s. His admiration turns into a collection of private images. However, Arata stumbles upon Makoto’s photo album. In Makoto’s imagination, their interactions quickly become intense, but with Arata now aware, Makoto is unsure how to proceed. The situation seems unlikely to lead to a positive outcome. The narrative explores a fixation-driven affection. An unpublished story is also included.
