"Satoru Tendou knows that one-sided love is a fate worse than death. A lonely window used to connect him to his best friend, the talented Shirou Sawaguchi. But as the boys grew into a hotshot cameraman and a track champion, the simple 'goodnight' whispered through the tin can phones of childhood vanished into confused silence. Two hearts once beat together as one-- will a surprise from the past allow deep emotions to bloom like the sakura flowers, or will a surprise from another plotting boy pull everyone apart? Boy loves boy in the Time Lag rivalry for romance. With every passing school day, a chain of mixed messages threatens to strangle a special friendship born in boyhood. Only two winners can claim victory from the battle-ground of a love triangle, but nobody will survive the wreckage if it all comes crashing down!"--Page 4 of cover.
