Synopsis

Three years after graduating high school, Hikaru Kusakabe and Rihito Sajou are still in a long-distance relationship. Kusakabe works tirelessly while pursuing his music career, leaving him with little time to visit Sajou. Meanwhile, Sajou involves himself more with extracurricular activities and drinking with his college friends.

However, Kusakabe's absence weighs heavily on Sajou, and when Kusakabe visits unannounced one day, Sajou breaks off their engagement. Although the love between them never waned, both Kusakabe and Sajou now have to navigate through their new normal and hope that, eventually, they will find their way back to each other.

Asumiko Nakamura's stories have always had my interest and attention in a vice grip, relentless and refusing to let go - and I've never minded that fact. She is incredibly talented with crafting stories, delivering messages, and making at least me fall for everything in the work I'm currently engrossed in - this time, it was "blanc".

A sequel to Doukyuusei, Sotsugyousei, and O.B. (Occupation to Beloved), it's set not too long after O.B. ended, but things have definitely changed.

"So many things are being half-assed"
- blanc, chapter 1. Also, this whole franchise.
