Jun Andō is a closeted gay high school student living in Tokyo, with the only people knowing about his sexuality being his boyfriend, Makoto, another closeted gay man who is married with children;[3] Mr. Fahrenheit, his gay online friend and who shares his interest in Queen and is dating a man afflicted with HIV; and Kate, a lesbian and owner of Jun's favorite café. One day, Jun catches his classmate, Sae Miura, buying yaoi manga.[4] Miura admits that she is secretly a fujoshi and, having lost her circle of friends in middle school after they discovered her hobby, she makes him promise not to tell anyone.[4] While Jun finds yaoi to be offensive, as he believes it does not realistically portray the struggles of gay people, he agrees anyway.[5]
As Jun and Miura grow closer, Miura confesses she has fallen in love with him during Golden Week. In an effort to try to live up to the expectations of society, Jun begins dating her, and despite his interest in her, he cannot bring himself to have sex. While discussing relationships with Mr. Fahrenheit, he reveals to Jun that his boyfriend died from AIDS last May; after their parents had discovered their relationship and that he had contracted HIV from him, they forbade them from meeting each other and he was denied the opportunity to attend his boyfriend's funeral. He makes Jun promise to return his copy of Queen II to his boyfriend's grave when he finally succumbs to AIDS. Following the conversation, Mr. Fahrenheit stops going online.
Later, Jun and Miura go on a double date to an onsen, where Makoto is also present on a family trip. Jun suddenly receives a scheduled e-mail from Mr. Fahrenheit, who tells him that he is dying by suicide to be with his boyfriend. Distraught, Jun runs to Makoto, and Miura catches the two of them together, resulting in an argument. After reflecting, Jun decides to tell Miura the truth about his sexuality, but their classmate, Ono, overhears their conversation and mocks Jun, starting a fist fight. By the next school day, the entire class has found out about his sexuality. Overwhelmed, he attempts suicide by jumping from the school building.
Jun survives with a broken arm and is hospitalized for one month. After his mother learns about his sexuality, she vows to support him, and the two decide to move to Osaka. In addition, Miura and Jun's friend Ryōhei continue to visit him. Miura lends him her yaoi manga, and as she begins to understand Jun more, she asks him to attend the end-of-term school assembly, where she will be given an award for her painting. As promised, Jun briefly attends amidst the hostility from his classmates. During the event, Miura suddenly takes the microphone to announce her support for gay people, explaining how Jun helped her accept herself and her interest in yaoi. This causes the student body to cheer, and when the teachers attempt to silence her, Ono takes the microphone, also expressing his support for Jun. Jun gets up on the stage and kisses Miura.
Several days before Jun moves away, he visits Mr. Fahrenheit's house with Miura to pay respects and fulfill his promise, where he learns that Mr. Fahrenheit had lied about his age and was, in fact, a middle school student. At the end of the day, Miura breaks up with Jun to help the both of them move on. Realizing Makoto is unable to leave his family, Jun breaks up with him as well. On the final day, Jun goes to a gallery where Miura's painting is displayed, discovering that she had painted him and titled the painting "Falling in Love." In the epilogue, Jun attends his new school in Osaka, with a positive outlook.

Reception
Novel
Nao Kawamoto from Da Vinci described the novel as "heart-wrenching" and "fresh", praising the realistic depictions of gay people in characters such as Jun, Makoto, and Mr. Fahrenheit.[1] He stated that because the novel is centered on people with incompatible attributes coming to an understanding, namely with Jun's sexuality and Miura's interest in yaoi, it can be enjoyed by people who are not sexual minorities as well.[1]
