A protective sister tries to stop a group of homophobes from harassing her gay brother. Little does she know that the object of her brother's affections is none other than their leader. Meanwhile, slick young student Kanome finds his crush studying in the library with no one else around and he decides that now is his moment. All he has to do is say the right words to score a little bit of action. Another teenager named Minori anguishes over whether to reveal his lifestyle to his family. He decides no one is ready for that, but his sister jumps the gun and outs him at the dinner table. Will the family be able to accept him or has Minori forever torn his family apart? These are but a few stories in this fascinating compilation of shorts featuring flirting, heartbreak, unreciprocated devotion, unfulfilled sexual passion, and more.

The first two chapters frame gay characters within their family relationships; the writing and art depict flawed, sympathetic, believable characters--youthfully awkward teens, harassed office workers, chocolate-hogging six-year-olds.
Yet again (this was true also with Do Whatever You Want), the "introduction" on the site is inaccurate--did the summarizer actually read the stories? The timing is reflected inaccurately in the description of the first story, and the central character of the second chapter, Minori, is an adult, not a teenager; it's he who outs himself to all his siblings, though they subsequently out him to their mom.
