Flip Flip Slowly

Kouta Hagiwara tries not to pay too much attention to the books people borrow at the rural library where he works to maintain privacy. But when Junichi Yabumi, a handsome new face in town, begins visiting regularly, Kouta cannot help but remember his peculiar borrowing habits. The two only ever interact within the confines of the library, until Yabumi misses his bus and Kouta offers him a ride home.

One thing leads to another, and the two men start occasionally going on drives together. As Kouta learns more about Yabumi and his troubled past, he soon finds himself hoping that the time they spend together would never end.
