Billed as Japan’s first “same-sex reality romance series,” the show will feature nine men spending a summer working at a coffee truck, forming bonds of friendship and romance.

The reality series follows nine young men in search of love and friendship as they spend a summer living together. Each participant arrives at their new home — a beachside abode called the “Green Room” — with their own unique story to share. But the group has one thing in common: They are all attracted to men.
