Wait, I Love You Vol. 1

Wait, I Love You Vol. 1 is a contemporary boys’ love manga from writer Omayu, opening the Wait, I Love You series with a bold blend of romance and career heat. In 216 pages, Shinozaki Haruto, Tokyo’s top stylist, adores his boyfriend, rising actor Kuga Aoi. When Aoi lands the lead in a film shooting in Hokkaido, Haruto celebrates—and fears the distance. Fate intervenes when Haruto joins the same production as hair and makeup artist, thrusting the couple into the glare of the cameras and the pace of a shoot. They must balance deadlines, on-set temptations, and the pressure to keep their relationship private—until love takes center stage. Omayu’s expressive art and emotionally honest storytelling deliver a sensual, character-driven tale about trust, ambition, and the risks and rewards of being in the spotlight. This first volume sets a confident tone for the series as it navigates love amid professional ambition.
