Passing Line

Kazu first thought that his unconventional, flashy-looking cram school teacher, Kimura, was like someone from another world – one he would never fit into. The first impression Kazu gets is of someone who would look down on a poor student like himself, but Kimura's unexpected kindness to Kazu changes his mind. Unable to focus on his studies, Kazu confesses his affection before his exam. Because Kazu is both male and his student, Kimura hesitates. Later, though, he catches him falling asleep during his lessons and can’t resist kissing him! Will such a relationship be able to last?
