Blue Spring in Your Eyes, Volume 1

"They're so blue and clear. They look like they're shimmering." He was the only person who would describe the eyes Sowa hates so much like that.

Sowa doesn't have any friends. His sharp, cold eyes attracted only delinquents to his side. He lives his days filled with fighting, tussling, and pain. But one day, the basketball club's vice-captain, Kyoshiro, approaches him. The dependable, popular, and all-smiles senpai is the direct opposite of everything Sowa is. He tries everything to avoid the glowing beam of sunlight that is Kyoshiro, but...

The caring, handsome senpai x the aloof and clumsy lone-wolf kohai.

A heart-fluttering, pure romance BL!
