YuzuAndRitsu_if(love)_ep1

In high school, Ritsu buried his failed first love in his heart.
He grew up afraid of love, but one day, while on a secondment, he unexpectedly meets his first love again...!?
The person he thought he had "forgotten," turns out he "had remembered" her all this time.
This BL story restarts with a complicated relationship that begins with a reunion.

Episode 1 is 46 pages long. pdf

I`ve decided to translate the Yuzuritsu series into English.
I hope this story can reach someone’s heart, even across different languages and countries.

This story begins with the reunion of two men: Ritsu Iikawa and Yuzu Honda.
Ritsu is awkward and introverted, a logical thinker who struggles to express his emotions.
Yuzu, on the other hand, is bright and friendly, wearing his feelings openly on his face.
They may seem like complete opposites, but that is exactly why they are drawn to each other—and why they so often miss each other.

Yuzuritsu is not a typical “sweet romance after they start dating.”
It is a story about misunderstandings from the past, emotional wounds,
and the fear and clumsiness that come from caring too deeply about someone.
Little by little, taking long detours, the two slowly close the distance between them.

A single glance.
A moment of silence.
Words that were never spoken.
This series cherishes those emotions that exist before they can be put into words.

Episode 1 is like the sound of something beginning to move again—
the moment their relationship quietly starts to shift.
From here on, they will stumble, misunderstand each other,
and still be unable to look away from one another.

Through this story,
we hope you can relate, even a little, to feelings like:
“Why doesn’t it work, even though I love them?”
“Why is it so scary, because they matter so much?”

This is the clumsy, gently sweet journey of devoted Yuzu and Ritsu
as they find their way toward becoming lovers.
Please stay with them until the very end.
