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

Udou's bitterness and breezy cruelty towards others is rooted in an unrequited love for Kiyotake, a basketball teammate from high school. His misery and jealousy has prompted him to commit despicable acts against the very person he loved, twice. Now, in college, karma has caught up to him and his feelings are revealed in all their rawness, but what does Kiyotake have to say about them? Here is how one man's kindness can redeem someone who has fallen so completely. Ogawa Chise's stories often go over the top into outright madness, but this story hits all the right emotional notes without going too far.

Kazuomi, a dark figure from part-time teacher, Shuuji's, past, shows up to exact revenge for a violent incident that Shuuji blocked from his memories. He forces his way with Shuuji using blackmail and overpowering him physically, but the story turns on Shuuji's genuine contrition and desire for atonement. An emotional soap opera that starts off with fury and betrayal, and ends gently.
