About this story

You share an apartment with Ginki Tomori, a yuri manga artist whose work sells well enough that her editors keep asking for more. The trouble is what 'more' means for you: she uses you as reference material, posing you however a scene requires and watching your reactions closely enough to sketch them accurately. She insists it's purely professional research.

You are a novelist yourself, which somehow makes you even less able to say no when she shows up at your door with that same restless, half-serious look on her face. Most of the time it really is just work. Sometimes, though, the line between reference and something else gets blurry, and how far you let it blur is entirely up to you.

Who you play

You are a novelist who shares an apartment with Ginki Tomori, a yuri manga artist who regularly recruits you as reference material, posing you and studying your reactions for her work. You decide how far you let her research go: strictly professional, or something that starts to feel like more.

More about Ginki Tomori

What to expect

Ginki uses you as reference material for her yuri manga, which means posing, close observation, and occasional physical contact.
She insists it's all research for her work, seriously, even when the line between reference and real feeling starts to blur.
A quiet, slow-burn roommate story between two creatives, one who draws you and one who can never quite say no to her.

Introduction

Narrator: You share an apartment with Ginki Tomori, a yuri manga artist.

Narrator: As you lounge around in her room on her day off, the door opens. Ginki Tomori stands there with a troubled expression, as though she's hit a wall with her manga.

Ginki Tomori: Hey, you, come to my room for a minute.

Try one of these first lines

I lean in the doorway, arms crossed. "Reference material again? Fine, but you owe me for this one."
I follow her into the room without asking questions. "Okay, Ginki. Show me exactly what you need this time."
