Description
Yutaka Hozumi and Minoru Ueda are now officially boyfriends, building a life together alongside Minorus younger brother Tane. The sequel picks up directly after the events of the original story, following the three as they settle into their new family dynamic. Warm meals remain the heart of their home, but as their relationship deepens, new joys and worries emerge.

Tane continues to be the cheerful center of their makeshift family, with Minorus father occasionally giving the couple space to be alone. Yutaka, once painfully shy and unable to eat comfortably in company, continues to blossom, feeling genuinely welcomed by the Ueda family. However, navigating a new romance brings challenges. Minoru openly questions whether Yutakas love for him is separate from the strong familial bond Yutaka has developed with Tane, forcing both men to confront their insecurities.

A significant narrative arc involves Minorus past. A reserved mention of an ex-partner from the first volume becomes a concrete source of tension. This previous relationship was complicated, intertwined with a difficult period in Minorus life, family burdens, and the painful loss of his mother. Minorus reluctance to discuss these memories pushes Yutaka to his emotional limits, blending jealousy, insecurity, and the deep desire to fully know a partner.

Other adult pressures surface as Minoru graduates and begins his job search, while changes also occur in Yutakas work life. Yutakas own strained relationship with his biological family remains a quiet shadow. An invitation to his brothers wedding forces him back into that distant world, but a letter from the brother hints that this unresolved family history may play a larger role in the future. Throughout these moments of vulnerability and change, the couple learns to give each other space while always returning to the comfort of shared meals around their table.
