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

Emotions are wrung out all over the place in this story, after two gay men announce their intention to marry and family get involved. The story isn't about homophobia, however, but some slight familiarity with Japanese laws will make it less confusing: in Japan, gay marriage happens through adoption, and having one's name placed in an official family registry. This story is about the family that will be left behind. There are lots and lots and lots of tears and emoting, but it isn't really a tear-jerker.

A former athlete falls into a depression so deep, after he is cut from his team, that he is willing to have sex with anyone in order to feel something. Hints of a failed romance indicate that the real reason for his anguish has little to do with soccer.
