"Relay" essay published in Wings. Each chapter features a contribution from a different mangaka.
Haru Kuze has just started his third year of high school when he become friends with Sousuke Kazama, the boy sitting in front of him. Haru has never had a friend like Kazama before. Despite being a quiet person, Kazama is also straightforward and honest. This makes Kazama a comfortable presence to be around. Apparently, Kazama has someone he likes, but it is a one-sided unrequited love. When Haru learns of this, he finds himself being overwhelmed with complicated emotions and he kisses Kazama on impulse. *Notes: \- Originally published as a one-shot, it was picked up for additional serialization in iHr HertZ under the title "sugar drop" starting in the 2020 May issue (2020-03-31). \- Includes one extra chapter.*
