I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #Sagami Waka(5)

Surfy boyz. A lighter-than-air slice of life involving two boys from the same school who can't resist the waves or each other.

Can Sataru trust the bartender Makio, a known con artist, or not? He certainly seems ready to risk everything to capture him. Interesting plot full of twists and great characters.

Yuki acts like the perfect wife for Keiichirou, his late sister's husband, preparing his meals, tidying his clothes—which is why Keiichirou wants him to stick around—doing everything except sleeping with him. He wants to, but Keiichirou doesn't know that, and he will never know as far as Yuki is concerned. Yuki's already got a job lined up in Osaka after he graduates (even though his professor and fellow students also want to marry him) and that hours-long commute is the best way of keeping what he sees as an inappropriate love to himself. So far, a lively and engaging story with a tragic past and beautiful art.

Araragi Toumi and Tetsuo are stepbrothers since Toumi's parents—distant relatives of the Araragis—died and the other relatives refused to adopt him. His home with the Araragi family has been so warm, loving and welcoming that his loyalty to them suppresses his erotic passion for Tetsuo. Tetsuo, on the other hand, is frank and accepting of his homosexuality, but all his love affairs have come to sad endings, so he will not risk another painful breakup with someone he loves as deeply as his stepbrother, especially after the trauma which preceded Toumi's adoption triggers seizures when he's away from their family. How long are they supposed to carry on in this holding pattern, and what does it take to finally break down the barriers?

Spin-off from Kirakira no Hibi, playing further with surfy-boys Chiaki and Ayumi (who we first met at the clubhouse with Nanami and Akiba.) Chiaki is established as the swim club's resident man-eater, and Ayumi is a somewhat dissolute spoilt rich boy who can't appreciate anything because everything comes easily to him.
