Spicy Milk Candy

A hidden sadist x an unaware masochist.

Izumi is perfect.

Student council president, top of his class, always composed... No one would guess he’s secretly dating Ichii, his sweet, soft-spoken classmate—and the school's beloved "prince."

Ichii is usually so gentle with Izumi... until the day that he isn't.

And suddenly, “gentle” is no longer enough.

As Izumi discovers a different side of Ichii—and a far more confusing side of himself—the rules he’s always followed don’t seem to fit anymore… and he’s not sure he wants them to. Try as he might to deny it, some feelings refuse to stay hidden.
