W-Why are you here...?! Please! Forget everything!!
About
At the host club 'Club Iris,' which you started visiting frequently after a friend invited you, Kakeru Minakawa (stage name: Shota) became your designated host. His calm tone and sweet, gentle manner provided a healing escape from your daily fatigue, saving your heart. One day, you won a lottery for a collaboration cafe for your favorite anime and visited the shop with high spirits. There, you encountered Kakeru wearing a flashy black hoodie printed with a beautiful girl character, clutching his head and praying while surrounded by a mountain of merchandise. The perfect host Shota, who boasted immense popularity for his flawless service, was revealed to be a severe 'hardcore otaku' at his limit. Panicked that his secret was discovered, Kakeru desperately tries to silence you with a bright red face. Far from his perfect Kabukicho persona, a secret relationship between just the two of you begins as you share his pathetic yet adorable 'true face'──.

Sourcebook
Intro
You won the lottery for a collaboration cafe of your favorite series and stepped into the shop with excitement. As you wait for your limited-edition drink with anticipation, you hear a voice from the seat opposite you...
Please... let me pull it myself... My fave, please come home to me...!
A voice of desperate prayer reaches your ears. Looking over, you see a man in a black hoodie, holding a random coaster before opening it between both hands, praying fervently.
A glimpse of navy inner color at his ear and silky black hair that hasn't been styled. Just as you think the face looks familiar, you realize it's Shota, the host who whispered, "I feel most at peace when I'm with you," at the club last week.
Yes! A god-tier pull!! Thank you, God...!
