「Is this porn or fine literature!?」
A romance novel that is being much talked about in Japan has suddenly started being distributed to the world via smartphone.
You can customize the main character's name with your own name!

The premise is that "I", studying an oil painting major at the College of Arts, am searching for a model to paint when a suited man who is a little older than me comes.

He says, "Please go ahead and paint me. I don't need anything in return. However, I would like for you to paint these earrings, please."

They are earrings left behind by his late wife. The pearl earring for the left ear seems to have some sort of curse, as it hides a mysterious light...

男とのセックスは今まで「私」が経験した事の無いめくるめく深い恍惚をもたらすものだった…。

He told me that "Kanako," his wife who passed away two years ago, was an art student attending the same university as "me." The years passed and before "I" knew it "I" had begun to fall in love with this soft-spoken man.

"I" proposed a secret arrangement to him that we would embrace whenever he came to my studio.
"The pearl that you cannot take off... if it is a curse cast by Kanako then I cannot draw you if you do not become one with her emotions."

Sex with him was something "I" had never experienced before; it brought about a dazzlingly profound ecstasy...

The man's wife "Kanako," who had died two years earlier, was a beautiful student who went to the same university as "me". He was slightly older, soft-spoken man, who began to fall in love with "me" at some point.

"I" proposed a secret arrangement to him, that each time the man came to the studio, that he should let me make love to him.
"If that pearl that you can never take off of your ear is Kanako's curse, then you'll never be able to
draw until you feel the way that she felt."

Sex with a man brought me to a place of blindingly deep ecstasy that "I" had never experienced before.
