For the past five years, veteran actor Takato Saijou was always hailed as the sexiest man of the year - reigning the polls as the man everyone wants to sleep with - and no one has ever come close to taking his top spot...until now, when it falls into the hands of rookie actor Junta Azumaya. Takato's always been proud of his ability to keep his true, dark emotions under wraps, but when a drink gone wrong unearths his actual thoughts - to Junta, of all people - is there something he can do to let Junta keep his slip-up under wraps?
Sakurabi launched the manga in Libre Shuppan's Monthly Magazine Be x Boy in July 2013. Libre Shuppan published the manga's ninth compiled book volume in November 2023.
A television anime adaptation premiered in Japan in October 2018. Aniplex of America streamed the series on Crunchyroll as it aired in Japan. The anime had 13 episodes.
