Synopsis: “Nanase and Heiji are back, and this time the only thing standing in their way is Nanase’s brother, Yoichi. Something about the overgrown, over-bold Heiji makes big brother’s blood boil – and that’s before he founds out about their secret pact! Yes, it’s true that at Kinsei High, ninety percent of the all-boys school student body are gay (or bi), but Yoichi’s hardly ready to face those facts.”

Ordinary Crush, volume two, continues where volume one left readers. After an initial ruse led to their going out, Nanase and Heiji are now happily involved and join the ranks of the 90% of gay or bi population of their all-boys’ school. A problem arises in the form of Nanase’s brother, Yoichi, a previous student of Kinsei High. Yoichi is well aware of the behaviour of Kinsei’s students and was hopeful his brother had avoided those kinds of complications. Along with the fact that Yoichi has no like for Heiji, and that’s before even discovering Heiji’s dating his little brother, Yoichi was bound to cause some problems.

Synopsis: “Welcome to Kinsei Private School – a respected, all-boys institution where it’s rumored ninety percent of the student body is gay (or bi). For the straight Nanase, this means constantly evading day-to-day advances from his love-struck classmates. Just what is a “normal” boy to do in this sea of “abnormality?”

Nanase’s solution to his private school woes is to go along with the plan suggested by his upperclassman, Heiji, who suggests the two of them pretend to date. Now throw in the fact that Heiji is already crazy for Nanase along with other students who aren’t willing to let Nanase go that easy. To make matters even more complicated, or in the case of a yaoi, simpler, Nanase finds himself acting in love with Heiji a little too passionately and thus it doesn’t take much thought to see where this is going.
