Manga Review | I Need More Than Just Romance by Haruko Tarafuku

Title: I Need More Than Just



Shuji and Kosuke have been dating for three months. It's going pretty well. They meet up multiple times a week at a diner, where they make small talk while Kosuke works, then they head to Shuji's house and watch movies or talk some more. It's all very routine and pleasant. But it's hardly an intimate relationship as far as Shuji is concerned. What is the difference between what they do and what friends do together? Shuji wants more from Kosuke. He wants to kiss, touch, and, hopefully, have sex, but no matter how hard he tries to hint at his physical cravings, Kosuke just never takes the bait.

One evening while he is pleasuring himself, he gets a text from Kosuke, inviting him to the diner they go to every time they meet. Unable to hold back any longer, Shuji makes a determined decision: he will prep himself, and no matter how the night goes, he will consummate his relationship with Kosuke. But will Kosuke reciprocate Shuji's feelings? Or will their relationship end before it even begins?
