Far From Romance

Paperback – December 2, 2025
By Amamiya

A tender, charming Boys’ Love romance about mistaken identities, surprising reunions, and the slow unfurling of long-buried feelings.

Tono Arata has built a quiet life for himself at a tiny seaside IT firm—steady work, peaceful days, and no real surprises. All of that changes the moment the company hires a new foreign employee: Lewis, a handsome, blue-eyed Brit with a disarming smile and a habit of leaning far too close.

From the start, Lewis seems to know Arata. Really know him. There’s an intimacy in his gaze that Arata can’t explain, a familiarity in the way he says his name. And then Lewis drops a bombshell: they met in high school—when Arata had a crush on him, believing he was a girl.

Now forced to reckon with a past he barely remembers, Arata finds himself unraveling in the presence of the very same person who once captured his heart. Their dynamic is awkward, electric, and unexpectedly sweet, as Lewis gently pushes against Arata’s boundaries while never quite stepping over them.

As old memories resurface and new feelings take root, Arata must figure out whether their connection is just nostalgia…or something much deeper. Far From Romance delivers soft workplace pining, heartfelt second chances, and the irresistible thrill of discovering that the person you once loved might still love you back.
