Manga artist Hayakawa Nojiko released her new BL title Sorase ni Tomoshibi (空せ視に灯) on November 6, 2026, published by Shucream. The volume serves as the latest spinoff of her series Kurayami ni Strobe (くらやみにストロボ).

Story

The story centers on Sawayama, a serious and straightforward member of the basketball club, who has always found his classmate Hase — a laid-back, hard-to-read bookworm — deeply off-putting. Hase, however, sees right through Sawayama’s secret feelings for their teammate Miyamoto, and cheekily asks, “Is there any room in your heart for me?” As Hase gradually closes the distance between them, Sawayama finds himself wrestling with increasingly complicated emotions.
