From DMP:

Determined to win Haru's admiration and love, Kazushi steals a kiss every chance he can get. How long can Haru ward off his increasingly strong and bold advances?

Yuuhi-kun planned to build a soccer field on the piece of mountain land that was his inheritance, but when his brother's elite Shuuiku Academy needed a new campus, Yuuhi was forced to reconsider. Now he finds himself both the landlord, and a student at the school! Needless to say, the other students are none too happy about being shipped out to the boonies, so Yuuhi – AKA “chicken-head” – has become the object of their collective ire. But there's something about the country bumpkin that has many students eyeing Yuuhi in a different way... a way that makes him very uncomfortable. Seems there's a lot more than “book-learnin’” going on at this school, and Yuuhi's about to get a whole 'nuther kind of education!

What do a gallery owner, Hideo Tanizaki, and a young, naïve filmmaker, Sohei Nakai, have in common? Well, both of them are 24 years old – that’s a good start. They both graduated from the same art school – that can’t hurt either. The fact that Tanizaki has a penchant for art forgery is just one “minor” difference between the two that Tanizaki hopes to rectify pretty quickly.
