    Summary

    To the rest of section 2-B, the classroom is just a loud, chaotic place full of high school drama, gossip, and laughter. But for Nakamura, it feels like a labyrinth where he is constantly trapped, forced to watch the boy he loves from afar. Hirose is right there—magnetic, smiling, and completely out of reach.
    As the school year goes on, the pressure of keeping his feelings a secret becomes too heavy to handle. Between noisy group lunches, meddling classmates, and the painful sting of jealousy, Nakamura’s anxiety slowly spirals until he literally loses his breath. But when a sudden rainy day pushes both boys to their breaking point, Nakamura realizes that Hirose might be hiding his own heavy burdens behind that perfect, sunny smile.
    A 10-chapter story about panic, hidden family struggles, and two boys finally learning how to breathe—and love—together.
