Shoutengai Monogatari
Stories from the Shopping District·商店街ものがたり
Shouta returns to his hometown after learning of his father's hospitalization, leaving his job in Italy to take over the family restaurant in the Hurubita Shopping District. The district remains largely unchanged, except for Makoto, his childhood friend, who has grown into an attractive young man. Makoto is now involved in casual relationships with many men in the area, which unsettles Shouta. Despite this, Shouta wonders if Makoto might still reserve some of his past innocence for him, the friend who had been away for seven years.
