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

Hana No Miyako De

Complete | takarai rihito | 2000 released

Motoharu's affection for Akira is thwarted by family expectations and cultural standing — NOT, as one would expect, on his side, but levied upon the hapless Akira, whose responsibility toward his mother's benefactors outweighs his personal choices. This story is, both, tragic and sweet, and both the young men still manage to express what is in their hearts, even though duty supercedes individualism in the time and setting of this story. Takarai Rihito's art is magnificent, and there is continuation of this story in the magnificent story, Hana No Mizu Shiro, or "Only the Flower Knows" [http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/hana_no_mizo_shiru/] ... If you love yaoi, definitely read both of these!

April Fool

Complete | Asato Eiri | 2000 released

A tragedy and its grief return in the form of bad dreams and self-realization for a young structural engineer whose brother died crossing an untested footbridge. I wouldn't really call this yaoi.
