Yukemuri Journey

Naoto, a college student, meets Kou, a bathhouse attendant, after a series of misfortunes: missing his school entrance ceremony, losing his job, and dealing with a temporary loss of home hot water. He visits the bathhouse Kou works at and initially finds Kou to be young, gentle, and attractive. However, Naoto soon discovers that Kou is actually older, easily angered, and more experienced than he appears. Despite Kou’s small stature, Naoto is concerned about him handling all the work alone and begins helping out at the bathhouse when possible. Although Kou is not what Naoto expected, he remains fascinated by him.
