Dont Call Me Dirty

When a young man takes in an unfortunate vagrant, helping him clean up and get back on his feet, a special relationship begins to blossom between the two unlikely companions.

After some time attempting a long-distance relationship, Shouji is crestfallen when he finds out his crush isn't gay.

Attempting to make their way in a society that labels each of them as 'outcasts' and 'dirty,' the two men grow closer. Together, they begin to find they have more in common than either of them could have anticipated.
