Taiyou wa Hidamari to Warau

Taiyo Kiriyama knew he wasn’t allowed to have pets in his apartment. But when he comes across an abandoned cat, he can’t help but try to smuggle the sweet creature in! Unfortunately, he’s immediately caught by the building manager, Asahi Taira. After Taiyo begs, Asahi agrees to let him keep the cat for a month while he finds it a home—but in exchange, Taiyo will have to become Asahi’s errand boy.

It’s not an easy gig, but after getting to know Asahi, Taiyo finds that the other man has a hidden charm and begins to enjoy the time they spend together. While Taiyo’s feelings for Asahi begin to grow, he soon learns that Asahi is in love with someone already. Can he help Asahi find his happiness and love, or will Taiyo’s own emotions get in the way?
