Coffee Prince and the Sleeping Beauty

For manga artist Hikari, drawing comes naturally, but her latest assignment has left her completely stumped. Tasked with shifting her career path to the world of 'TL' (Teens' Love) and erotic comics, she finds herself hitting a wall. Her editor demands steamier scenes and a better grasp of male desire, but Hikari's lack of experience leaves her pages blank and her confidence shaken. In search of a spark, she frequents a local cafe, where the charismatic and incredibly handsome barista catches her eye.

Dubbed the 'Coffee Prince' by his admirers, the barista seems like the perfect visual reference for her male lead, though Hikari initially doubts he has the depth to be a true muse. However, a chance encounter reveals that he is more than willing to help her overcome her writer's block—not just with coffee, but with a lesson in intimacy. As Hikari becomes the 'Sleeping Beauty' awakened by her prince's touch, she must navigate a relationship that blurs the boundaries between work and pleasure. Readers will be drawn into this tantalizing tale of artistic inspiration turning into a passionate, real-life romance.
