I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #compilation(2)

Wow, the first story is so rough, it's almost impossible to get past. The first time I tried, I got stuck on the strangulation scene and shut it all down. Fortunately, the story changed tack after that. The second story is relatively sweet in comparison, involving a very kindhearted transvestite and a "stray cat" boy he picks up.

At an all-male boarding house, tenants come and go as their life circumstances change. One of the stories involves a re-encounter as Ryouta, a photographer, rooms with the person he loved in high school. In the second story, Sugano's affair with a married man closes him off from the companion who truly loves him, until his lover's wife becomes pregnant. More shounen ai than yaoi, these stories are easy and realistic slices of life.
