Our take
The Sasaki and Miyano spin-off: a tough-looking senior and the roommate who adores him. The same gentle touch, with a little more teasing.
Synopsis
Kagiura is on the basketball team and cannot wake up on his own. Hirano, his older roommate and a member of the disciplinary committee, gets him out of bed every morning and tells himself it is nothing special. A spin-off of Sasaki and Miyano.
