Inside Full Bloom

Haunted by past trauma, Kana has kept his identity as a sexual minority hidden throughout his life. He’s never told anyone and has been carrying the weight alone. But when his friend brings him to a college mixer, one of the people sitting among the girls is Keigo, a guy who casually reveals that he’s gay.

Their first meeting was a disaster. They couldn’t have been more incompatible. But as they continue to encounter, connect with, and confront one another, they begin to realize emotions they have never felt before. Time, which had long been paused for these two uncertain young men, quietly starts to flow once more.

A tantalizing yet painful love story between hearts carrying hidden wounds.

As their hearts and bodies come together, their loneliness begins to unravel. Brought to you evocatively and sensually, the powerful debut comic from Wakame Kuki.

“But… you’ll stay by my side, won’t you?” He hid the part of himself he couldn’t accept in the past, ran away from it, and gave up. It’s not that easy for him to change.
