”Both love movies”

Wataru and Chiharu learned about their common ground
after a chance meeting at a bookstore.
For Wataru, who was an ordinary student,
Chiharu, who was often confessed to by girls,
was too popular and seemed like a distant existence.

However, when they talked,
they found that Chiharu is a huge movie buff and their tastes match.
The two became close in no time,
and the distance between them rapidly closed.

Then one day, suddenly...... Wataru was told by Chiharu that he liked him.
Wataru was unable to comprehend the situation because it was so sudden.

Before giving an answer to the confession,
Wataru tells Chiharu that he wants to think about it after going on a trip during summer vacation to visit movie filming locations
—a pilgrimage to sacred sites.

Although no answer is given, Chiharu agrees to travel together.
However, Chiharu has a secret
that he hasn't been able to tell Wataru yet......

For Wataru, romance is something he should be quite familiar with from watching countless love story movies, yet he never imagined even for a moment that such an experience would come his way. Without being able to give an answer to the confession, they embark on a grand journey to visit movie filming locations during summer vacation...... What kind of answer will emerge, and what is the other secret that Chiharu couldn't reveal to Wataru? It’s a very summery story, and the fact that the story concludes in one volume makes it very easy to read and is GOOD! Please try reading 'Kimi wa Natsu no Naka' before it gets adapted into a live-action drama!
