A Nightingale Awaits the Blooming Love of Spring

A cheerful delinquent seeks fighting advice from his reformed-troublemaker teacher in this unconventional coming-of-age BL love story! Haruka and Narumi-sensei's dynamic explores what it means to be a leader and a role model amidst the social and emotional turbulence of adolescence. Spring is here--and with it, a new beginning for an old legend. Third-year brawler Haruka Shirakawa finally claims the title of Top Fighter, only to learn his new Classic Lit teacher, Mr. Narumi, once held it too. Haruka's friends want him to challenge Narumi and surpass the legend, but Haruka just wants to understand him. After seeing a video of Narumi fighting in his prime, the fire in Narumi's eyes ignites something in Haruka too: the blazing desire to grow stronger--and to grow up. And since Narumi won't fight him, the least he can do is teach him to fight... and Mr. Narumi's lessons strike deeper than any blow.-Content Warnings: explicit sexual content, age gap, student-teacher relationship
