Minato's Laundromat

High schooler Shintarou has been avoiding Akira Minato’s run-down laundromat…ever since he caught Akira gleefully hanging out with his old teacher and crush, Sakuma. Now Akira worries about the damage his unintentional betrayal has done to Shintarou’s heart. Can their increasingly intimate friendship ever recover? What’s more, now that Akira finally has the chance to speak with Sakuma again, will he be able to confess the feelings he’s harbored for over ten years?

Akira Minato is away from his worn-out laundromat to spend Christmas Eve with Shintarou and his family, which his persistent pursuer couldn’t be happier about. But while the two are preparing to cozy up together for the holidays, Asuka has relationship troubles of his own. He wants to believe he and Shuu are dating, but will Shuu ever feel the same? And what will Asuka do when Shintarou’s sister Ranko tells him she wants to confess her love to Shuu herself?

Time passes, seasons change—and in the blink of an eye, cherry blossoms are heralding the coming of a new school year. Akira Minato and Shintarou have been on awkward terms ever since their Tokyo date was interrupted by Akira’s ex, but spring is a chance to begin anew…isn’t it? And with his eighteenth birthday around the corner, Shintarou has big plans. Can Akira face up to his stubborn admirer’s true feelings while quelling the turmoil in his own heart?
