Yes, No, or Maybe? (Novel) Vol. 02

Yes, No, or Maybe? (Novel) Vol. 02 – Center of the World

The long-awaited continuation of the Boys’ Love light novel (and anime) about the secret lives of men who work in television!

Kei has finally settled into his position as an Asabi TV news anchor, only for a rival channel to start a similar show in the exact same time block. As ratings for Kei’s unexpected competitor climb, he begins to suffer an existential crisis.

He never really planned to be in TV–is this even what he wants? Worse yet, he’s stumbled into relationship troubles with Ushio, and now he has nowhere to turn to for comfort, let alone guidance. As Kei navigates his way toward an uncertain future, he must rely on the crew of Asabi TV, though he’s beginning to learn that there’s more to some of them than meets the eye…

Series Overview: Kunieda Kei is the up-and-coming Prince Charming of the evening news. Inside, he’s the opposite: brash, hot-tempered, and prickly as can be. For years, Kei has successfully juggled his private and professional personas—until a chance meeting with a stop motion animator threatens to bring it all crashing down. But is that really as frightening as the possibility that someone might love and accept both sides of who he is?
