Description

Tougo Amase is a well-known photographer who focuses on night scenery and the man Subaru Miyazawa not-so-secretly idolises from afar. Subaru always assumed Tougo would be distant, just like the stars in his art, so he can't quite believe his luck when they meet at a trial screening of a new planetarium show.

While Subaru is a totally awestruck mess of nerves, Tougo takes it all in stride. Not only that, but he's hopelessly sweet, carrying Subaru down the steps where he and his wheelchair could never go alone just so he can watch the exhibit from the front row. Subaru can’t help but think I hope we meet again.
