Kore ga Koi na Wake ga Nai by Susuki Sonoichi

Treat Me Like Garbage

Iida Kaoru is a serious, emotionally guarded man—the kind who bottles everything up and keeps marching forward. But after a painful rejection from a younger classmate, his already fragile heart takes a hit. He resigns himself to solitude… until a whirlwind named Yanagi Yuzuru crashes into his life.

Tall, loud, and completely straight (or so he claims), Yanagi confesses to Iida in the most outrageous way possible:

“It was love at first sight! Please… treat me like garbage!”

What starts as a bizarre, no-strings-attached physical arrangement slowly twists into something more complicated. Day after day, their casual meetings blur the lines between desire, power, and vulnerability.

Is this just another form of escapism for Iida—or is something real growing between two people who don’t even realize how much they need each other?

A chaotic love story between a broken man and his unexpectedly devoted masochist.
