A fresh start turns sour after a manga editor's new boss turns out to be his ill-fated first love!

When Ritsu Onodera changes jobs, looking for a fresh start, he's not exactly thrilled when his new boss turns out to be his old flame. Ritsu's determined to leave all that in the past--but how can he when his boss is just as determined that they have a future?

Manga editor Ritsu Onodera is still burning the candle at both ends for Marukawa Publishing's Emerald shojo magazine and his grueling boss--and first love!--Masamune Takano. After Ritsu's old high school friend Nao professes his love for him, Ritsu realizes he can no longer deny his feelings for Takano. But when Takano finds out that Ritsu still has hang-ups over their past, he flips, suggesting a way to help him get over them once and for all...a friends-with-benefits relationship?!
