Twenty year old Kouta works at a local guest house. His quiet routine is upended when a new part timer joins the staff, and he is mortified to discover it is someone he never thought he would see again: his junior high classmate, Chizuru. Their past is complicated by a shared kiss that occurred only as part of a punishment game. Believing the kiss meant nothing, Kouta assumes Chizuru wants nothing to do with him. However, the moment they are alone together, Chizuru kisses Kouta again and confesses that he took the job specifically to be with him. The story, created by Kata Konayama (also known under the pen name Ei Tozaki), follows Kouta as he grapples with whether this sudden advance is another cruel prank or a genuine chance to start over. The narrative arc explores the messy feelings and misunderstandings that arise from their reconnection, forcing both young men to confront the unresolved tension from their junior high days. The single volume manga, originally serialized in Canna Comics from August to November 2023 under the Japanese title Ano Kiss wo Tadotte, centers entirely on this rekindled relationship at the guest house setting.
