Who will win in this battle of sexy gazes between smitten seatmates? Classmates Ikezawa and Eguchi can't get enough of looking at each other-in that way! Through an escalation of showing off skin, the blunt Eguchi and the flustered Ikezawa realize how hot it is to look at someone who's looking back with equal passion. But it's also scary to expose your sexy side. Who will tap out first in this mortifying yet electrifying ordeal of being seen? It all starts with a steamy exchange of sexually charged looks. Average teen boy Ikezawa can't help noticing Eguchi's tight top, and when he comments on it, she quips right back that his plunging neckline accentuates his toned chest! From then on, Eguchi tells Ikezawa every single hot thing she notices about him. Ikezawa can't help feeling flustered by her attention and even starts showing off for her. With chaotic flirtation in full force, what are these two smitten seatmates going to do but play even more to each other's gazes?
