If You’re Going to Fall in Love, the Second Time’s the Charm (2024)

Miyata Akihiro and Iwanaga Takashi have known each other since their secondary school days; at the time, something was beginning to develop between them, but for no apparent reason, Miyata brought the relationship to a complete halt. Years later, now in their thirties, Akihiro Miyata and Takashi Iwanaga find themselves working together by chance: the former is an editor for a magazine, the latter a successful university professor and acclaimed writer. This reunion brings long-dormant feelings back to the surface; Miyata’s world slowly crumbles and he tries his utmost not to let himself get involved with Iwanaga again. Will Miyata and Iwanaga manage to start all over again? How long will it take Iwanaga to win Miyata’s heart back?
