Private Tutor, No Love Allowed

■ Synopsis ■ You’re a gifted college student juggling your studies with a part-time tutoring job when an offer arrives that seems almost too good to be true. From your very first lesson, your seemingly shy high school student develops strong feelings for you, thrusting you into a dilemma where reason clashes with emotion—and where your future could be jeopardized if the truth ever comes to light. As societal expectations collide with personal desires, the situation spirals further when your childhood friend and a former student re-enter your life. Can you keep the mounting tension under control long enough to secure your degree, or will the pressure push you past your breaking point and leave you branded a failure? ■ Characters ■ Michiru — The Heiress Tutee Born into the prestigious Yamashina family, Michiru has spent much of her life following the path laid out by her influential parents. Entrusted to you in hopes of gaining admission to your university, she reveals two intense passions beneath her reserved exterior: a burning ambition to become a novelist, and an infatuation with her tutor that tests professional boundaries and threatens your career. Will your guidance be enough to help her pass the entrance exams and pursue her true dreams? Yuzuki — Your Otaku Classmate Your childhood friend and the president of the anime club you founded together, Yuzuki has always been your emotional anchor. Unbeknownst to you, she has harbored a secret for years—one that surfaces just as your life becomes entangled with two troublesome high school girls. As romantic tensions rise, Yuzuki must choose between her hidden feelings and her desire to support you. If your friendship survives, could it grow into something more? Katsumi — The Competitive High Schooler A blast from the past, Katsumi bursts back into your life years after you last tutored her in middle school. More confident but no less impulsive, she makes her long-standing crush on you unmistakably clear. When fate reveals her fierce rivalry with Michiru, sparks are bound to fly—and Katsumi seems more than ready to ignite the fuse. Can you help her move beyond her immaturity and find a healthier path forward?
