Maybe I’m Your Steppin’ Stone
Men, in general, are hot. Male construction workers are, in general, off the charts! The antics of the scaffold construction workers of I’m Not Your Steppin’ Stone: Shameless continue in Maybe I’m Your Steppin’ Stone: Loveliness. Kousei Magi, Kazuya’s sempai, finally gets his own story!
Kousei seems pretty popular with everyone – the other construction workers, the clerk at the convenience store where he buys his porn magazines – just about everyone except his ex-wife. But the many secret admirers that Kousei has are just looking for an opportunity to step up to the plate. Kenji Hirose, the clerk at the convenience store, has become a doting uncle ever since he realized that his niece and Kousei’s son attend the same nursery school. When the school’s sports tournament leaves Kenji injured, Kenji’s more than willing to take advantage of Kousei’s nursing ability and wait for the opportunity to pounce!
