Flip Flip Slowly
In this new BL one-shot manga, an older city man is looking to find solace in a small country library and a curious young librarian who can't help falling for him. A simple, moving story about two men finding common ground despite their overt differences, and the way love can sneak up on you when you least expect it...
In a rural country town where nothing exciting ever happens, a new face suddenly appears at the libraryโa former city man who starts to show up every week without fail. With each visit, the librarian, Hagiwara, can't help but notice little things about this new regular, Yabumiโhis punctuality, his demeanour, his strangely methodical approach to reading every single book by a single author...
Slowly, without realising it, that simple observation blooms into a deeper interest that draws Hagiwara in, until he can't help it! He wants to get to know Yabumi better. But how will he bridge the distance when there's no talking in the library?
Flip Flip Slowly is a heartwarming tale of unexpected connections and the quiet ways love can find you.
