A fresh start turns sour after a manga editor’s new boss turns out to be his ill-fated first love!

When Ritsu Onodera changes jobs, looking for a fresh start, he's not exactly thrilled when his new boss turns out to be his old flame. Ritsu's determined to leave all that in the past—but how can he when his boss is just as determined that they have a future?

Manga editor Ritsu Onodera is still giving it his all working under bossy editor in chief—and first love—Masamune Takano. And unfortunately, Ritsu runs—yet again—into Masamune’s nemesis Haitani, who this time asks him out! Of course, Takano is not having any of it, but Haitani counters by reminding him that Onodera isn’t Takano’s possession. Under pressure from Haitani, and with Takano doubting Ritsu’s feelings for him, will Ritsu’s true feelings for his old flame finally be extinguished?
