I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #Scarlet Beriko(3)

Hot shot cupcake yakuza waka #4, Tatsuyuki, is unwillingly sent to Fukouko to assume his duties, gets dead drunk in the midst of a set-up by subversive henchman, Rogi, is rescued by a playschool teacher, Minori, with whom he unknowingly shares a secret from the past. Eventually all these chaotic and seemingly random incidents join together in a surprisingly suspenseful and interesting plot. The villain is definitely a Boo!Hiss!Bad guy, but he has his own treacherous secrets and nothing in this strange little tale is what it seems at first glance. I certainly misread it. Now, I'm all "Read it! Read it! Read it!"

A wealthy and insecure young man falls for a much older and more experienced bespoke tailor who also happens to be an Anglophile. There is some interference from the family, but the biggest issues concern the young man's lack of confidence, which he manages to build up quite nicely under the tailor's gentle tutelage. There are times when the young man's tantrums and emotional reactions get a bit irritating, but it fits with the age and the issues.

Part of the series which includes Yondaime Ooyamato Tatsuyuki, developing the story of Rogi.
