I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #Minaduki Yuu(5)

Childhood friends who live under the same roof. One suffers from amnesia. The other from unrequited love toward the amnesiac.

Heita lives with his retired grandfather in a small rural community boarding house that closed after his grandmother died, while he attends school and looks after the one remaining boarder, Miharu, a university researcher who seems incapable of looking after himself. He has some vaguely realized feelings toward Miharu which he expresses by preparing luxurious bentou and sharing the futon during rainstorms. Meanwhile, Miharu's feelings for Hei-chan are hardly vague, but he is an adult and Heita isn't, and that seems to mean something in this story.

Oopsy, country bumpkin (*his* choice of words) cram school teacher, Kotaro went to Nakatsu Towa's house to enjoy gazing at bonsai, and caught sight of him in a tight lip-clinch with his ex. Now he's all a-flutter with the gay.

Kai has an incestuous passion for his older stepbrother, the ultimate Owarai boke, Riku, but for the sake of a convival home tries his best to keep his lust in a family friendly context. Only Kai and Riku are fooled by this double act, of course, but that turns out to be an impediment when romance encroaches from outside and Kai reacts by overstepping his very carefully laid boundaries. The ending is not a surprise, but the way in which the ending is reached is a very welcome and very sweet surprise! Story #2 deals with Chidori and Shin, Kai's younger twin stepbrother and stepsister, who are in middle school, and who attract attention from an ardent customer at their family's donut shop. The Manzai comic technique is a little overplayed at times, but funny all the same.

Sequel to Sayanara Game.
