Sempura: Best Friends, Sometimes Lovers

Yutaro and Takei form the comedy duo Senpura. For the past year, Takei has refused to speak to Yutaro about anything other than work. In order to confirm their bond as a comedy pair, Yutaro decides to stage a fake breakup prank. When Takei suddenly bursts into tears, Yutaro presses him for an explanation, only to hear Takei confess, “I like you.”

In order to keep the duo together, and also to respond, even a little, to Takei’s feelings, Yutaro makes a proposal. Only in this room will the two of them be lovers. Once they step outside, they are just friends and comedy partners. And until Takei’s feelings cool down, Yutaro will go along with it.
