The Beautiful Greenness summary: At the age of 31, Tarou is a writer with a poor lifestyle which involves never cooking his own meals. His unhealthy habits leave much to be desired. During a chance encounter, lively greengrocer Haruki invites him over to drink, and after some time, Tarou finds himself letting loose and unconsciously making provocative comments that arouse Haruki's desire. Although Tarou identifies as heterosexual, Haruki gradually takes control with physical intimacy, revealing Tarou's underlying masochistic tendencies. As their relationship progresses, Haruki offers a unique and somewhat sadistic brand of affection to satisfy Tarou's newfound desires.
