Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Minato's Laundromat, Vol. 1 opens with a bold confession: Minato-san, I have a sex drive.

When Akira Minato inherits an old, run-down laundromat from his grandfather, he sees it as an opportunity to recover from his grueling corporate job and spend his days in laid-back leisure. But all that changes when a new customer comes knocking—one who's maybe a bit too good-looking.

Despite their growing closer, Akira is determined not to let high school hottie Shintaro Katsuki find out he's gay until a casual slip of the tongue gives away his secret.
