My Noons and Midnights Are for You, Volume 1

#MAHIRUTIME

Mayo hides behind the screen as “Mahiru“—but how long can he hide his true self?

Compared to his radiant online alter ego—Mahiru, a bubbly VTuber beloved by thousands of fans—the real Mayo is gloomy, shy and plagued by self-doubt. And the more love Mahiru receives, the more Mayo feels the sting of isolation. Even Mr. Ogino—Mayo’s affectionate, doting manager—seems to care more for the persona, not the real Mayo behind the mask.

So even when Mr. Ogino tells him, “I love you,” how could Mayo ever believe his words…?

Yet Mr. Ogino might see more than Mayo realizes. Sensing Mayo’s secret longing and unable to resist, Mr. Ogino utters the words that will change their relationship forever:

“In that case… shall I bully you instead?”
