I read this book (the Chinese translation) long ago...I remember it's about a young man killed his love interest (who didn't return his feeling) and hid his corpse in a freezer, of course there are some wicked twists and turns whilst the young man struggled with guilty, fear and self-loathing. Hehehe.

ここ最近本を読むペースがだいぶ落ちてるけど、久々に一気読みするぐらい引きこまれた作品だった。

Suspense, tragic love story, tale of redemption and reconciliation all rolled into one.

English Title: Secret
Synopsis: on a Summer night, Keita Utsumi, who was wandering the midnight streets looking for a place to sleep, met a man named Mitsuru Sugiura, who offered him a place to stay for the night in exchange for sex. Keita doesn't want to have sex with him, as he hates sex but he absolutely doesn't want to go home and deal with the secret in his freezer....

Another delicious story by Konohara-San. I loved reading this novel. I loved watching Mitsuru and Keita's love blossom. Mitsuru is arguably one of the best characters from Konohara-San's bibliography. I could relate to him and his learning disability a lot. Keita and Mitsuru's relationship was cute and romantic with a bit of angst, just how I like it. Although I'd prefer more angst. I cannot wait to reread this. It is definitely worth a read!
