The road to romance hasn’t been easy for photographer Nishioka and his handsome lover Matsukawa. Despite their having been together for a bit of time now, things haven’t really settled between them. Work demands are too high and the pressure in their business is fierce. When business and pleasure mix, it doesn’t always turn out well and these two will be challenged by the demands of their jobs and the needs left wanting in their relationship. At work Nishioka tries to strike out on his own, but Matsukawa, despite his ego, is uneasy with the amount of time Nishioka is spending with his new business comrade. To step up the game, Matsukawa steps into the ring and now he and his lover Nishioka are rivals for the same ad campaign! Flames of love could quickly turn into a frustrated damp towel of disappointment and envy if this turns out badly.

From there, the manga goes into some short pieces with the two lovers. One is a comical day at a summer getaway. The other is a sweetly sentimental short about the two lovers on a snowy day. Things heat up again in a larger story that follows. Nishioka and Matsukawa are both given an opportunity – one neither of them can perhaps refuse. Nishioka is being drawn to his old town, which would put him in a long distance relationship with Matsukawa. Meanwhile Matsukawa has been given a promotion he’s told he can’t turn down, one for their foreign department! That distance would definitely put Nishioka out of arms reach, something Matsukawa is adamantly against. As the two learn the frustrations of working apart, can they satisfy their professional ambitions with their personal romance? Readers will find out in this volume.
