Shinjuku 69 Heaven, Volume 2

An irresistible game of love in a neon-lit town swirling with desire... Reporter Kutani and sex worker Hiromu wind up roommates after spending the night together, and must confront the uncomfortable question of whether their chemistry was real or just part of the job for Hiromu...!

Keita Kutani, a sex industry reporter who's worked his way through Kabukicho's red-light district, hires Hiromu, a No. 1 male sex worker, for an inside report on the gay sex industry.

In spite of his reservations, Kutani finds himself completely captivated by Hiromu's carefully cultivated charms, and can't help second-guessing his strictest principle: never return to the same service twice. 

But Hiromu might just be worth breaking all the rules.

Meanwhile, a magazine hires Kutani for a new assignment: to share an apartment with a perfect stranger for three months. And it turns out the stranger-turned-roommate in question is none other than the snarky, sneering, impossibly sensual Hiromu himself!
