I Want to be a Wall Vol. 01
Any love story aficionado will say that the key to a successful couple is intense desire for one another—but what if the characters in question are an asexual woman with a passion for Boys Love stories and a gay man whose heart forever belongs to his oblivious childhood friend? Although romance will never be in the cards for newlyweds Yuriko and Gakurouta, the bond blossoming between them promises to be a wonderful relationship—the likes of which neither has ever experienced before…
As the couple strives to adapt to their less-than-idyllic union, Gakurouta learns more about his wife’s interests, while Yuriko tries her best to hide her fujoshi delusions as she watches her husband interact with Sousuke. In the process, Yuriko and Gakurouta find a strange sense of comfort with each other. Although they will never develop romantic feelings for one another, their mutual understanding seems to bring them together in a completely different way than they ever thought possible.
