In this new BL one-shot manga, an older city man looking to find solace in a small country library and a curious young librarian who can't help falling for him. A simple, moving story about two men finding common ground despite their overt differences, and the way love can sneak up on you when you least expect it...In a rural country town where nothing exciting ever happens, a new face suddenly appears at the library: a former city man who starts to show up every week without fail. With each visit, the librarian, Hagiwara, can't help but notice little things about this new regular, Yabumi--his punctuality, his demeanor, his strangely methodical approach to reading every single book by a single author... Slowly, without realizing it, that simple observation blooms into a deeper interest that draws Hagiwara in, until he can't help it! He wants to get to know Yabumi better. But how will he bridge the distance, when there's no talking in the library?

The battle for the fate of the world begins with a single bite. All Seiji wants is to live like an ordinary high school kid. But for the past ten years, an unending stream of “accidents” have made it a daily battle to stay alive at all. So when a mysterious messenger hints that the answer to Seiji’s problems may lie in his past, he digs up a curious pomegranate he’d once found at the bottom of a well rumored to lead to the underworld and tries to get rid of it for good. Unfortunately, that unearthly piece of fruit wasn’t all Seiji brought back with him, and his split-second solution may have just opened an ungodly can of worms poised to rock this world—and the next—to its very core.
