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

Tamaki loves Tomoyuki, a professional photographer who suddenly disappeared from his life three years prior. Now that Tomo has returned to Japan, Tamaki wants to renew their friendship, but Tomo avoids him. Tamaki thinks this is because he was too much of a child, but there is a tragic event in his past which precipitated Tomo's desertion, and it hasn't been resolved. This story is included in a three-part series of yakuza-themed manga: 1) Zetai Unmei Houteishiki 2) Tsumasaki ni Kiss: a story about Tamaki's oldest brother, Homura 3) Gravity Eyes: a story about Homura's rejected suitor, Kyouya.

Volume 6: Mujihi na Otoko "Merciless Man" in Sakuragi Mei's Warui Series. Isolated at college by rumours of his invincible homosexual magnetism, Nanao Shirahane is irresistibly drawn to Kuon Aikawa, another student whose nature is to fiercely attach to a partner and who, thus, despises Nanao, even when he starts to notice that Nanao's behaviour doesn't correspond with the person he is said to be. Mix in a professor who uses Nanao's loneliness, the result of those rumours, to advance his own agenda and you have a lively, and surprisingly emotionally wrenching story by Sakuragai Mei — definitely the best of her Warui series.
