Real-Time Fever by Taberu Kasumi
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Shizuka is rather shy and unassuming in public, which may make his online persona as "Shiro" even more surprising, feeding his kink of being seen and praised. The last thing he expected was for his most ardent viewer and favorite review, "Kuro", to be someone from his college that would recognize him and act on his own desires. Kuro is almost the exact opposite of Shiro though - hot, a bit of a playboy, pushy, jealous, and demanding. Somehow, the two are dynamite when together, though. Shiro is convinced it's all wishful imagining on his part that he might ever mean something to Kuro, and it's understandable why he feels that way. It's up to Kuro to find a way to get through to Shiro, and he's not one to give up once he's made up his mind. A bit questionable and forceful for a lot of the story, but the overarching story and and ending is rather sweet in the end. If there had been a way to keep the sweetness without the forced intimacy, it would be fabulous, but it's also understandable given the original setting and how Kuro learns Shiro's identity in the first place.
