but this manga is a gay-to-straight romanticization. The bi father who CHEATED on his partner and left him the moment he realized he could have a traditional family. The straight son who tried to reciprocate his BFF's feelings for YEARS and ultimately THE GAY FRIEND had to break it off. Realistic? Yes. But 2 stories with similar elements in one series, within one family? Nah... This manga is seriously one of the many relics from the past that I hope no one tries to replicate in modern works.
