Across The Pacific- Original BL Story

When Hiiragi Sakamoto, a reserved and traditional Japanese student, meets Victor Alastire, a confident and adventurous American on a university exchange program in Tokyo, their worlds collide in ways neither expected. Hiiragi, deeply rooted in the ancient customs of his Kyoto heritage, is content with the quiet life of tea ceremonies and cultural preservation. Victor, on the other hand, grew up in the fast-paced tech world of New York, where innovation and modernity reign supreme.



Their initial meeting at a cultural exchange event sparks a connection that transcends language and tradition. As they explore the bustling streets of Tokyo together, Hiiragi and Victor begin to share more than just their cultures-they share their dreams, fears, and the pressures of living up to their families' expectations. Hiiragi introduces Victor to the serenity of Japan's oldest traditions, while Victor shows Hiiragi the exciting possibilities of the future.



But as their love blossoms, they must face the reality of their different worlds. Can Hiiragi reconcile his commitment to his family's legacy with his growing feelings for Victor? And will Victor be able to find a place for Hiiragi in the future he envisions for himself?
