美智子's manga / #multiple stories(13)

the cover and title give us a dramatic air, but it's not that dramatic. it's very funny tbh (ps: makoto's face is my type)

i liked the siblings story. seiji is hot and his face is exactly my type

1. a guy who wears a bunny head because he's too shy 2. some piano guy 3. about a funny couple

i will explain the first story in details 1. tsuzuki hasn't seen his older brother, hajime, his only blood relative, in about 10 years. living this family-free lifestyle, he falls into some "bad" acquaintances (i found them very good friends, but i don't aprove the way they are/were living) firstly i will talk a bit about hajime: he left home when he was 24 years old, it is said later that he was in prison, because of some misunderstanding and took the blame (he stayed in prison about 10 years, just my guess, because it is said on manga that tsuzuki hasn't seen hajime about 10 years, same time when he left home) oh right, later is said that he became yakuza it's important to say that their father left several debts before dying, and hajime used these methods to pay his debts tsuzuki works helping a friend who runs a few call girls, and it caused trouble to his brother, who is yakuza hajime show up and tried to warn tsuzuki to stop working with that kind of thing, but he didn't listen to him and continues tsuzuki and his friends were caught by hajime and some yakuza, but only tsuzuki tried to resist and was severely injured. tsuzuki had to stay in hospital for 3 months because he broke his arms and legs, and hajime was the one who was in charge to help him recover hajime explained everything to tsuzuki and he started to understand everything they hasn't see each other for 10 years, so they were mm... distant? but with all these weeks they spent together, with so much physical contact, they were getting closer, just like how they used to be (and a bit more fufu) incest stories aren't my favorite, but some of them are good, like this one so bad that it is only a oneshot... 2. some old mans that can't find a job later one of them decided to follow his dream and they formed a team 3. a couple saw some woman being dumped and she thought one of them was making fun of her, so she cursed his lover but later their love broke the curse 4. did not like so i won't explain 5. a writer who can write just when his heart is broken

1-3. chiba helps out a tired salary man, tokita, by giving him bread, and they start hanging out frequently. tokita usually treats chiba because he likes having his company, but then chiba suddenly say he is gay to him as a warning. tokita reciprocates and bam. 4-6. yamato takes usami, his senpai, back to his home after usami gets drunk, and yamato jacks usami off. usami feigns ignorance the next day, which causes straightforward yamato to become mad. usami then acknowledges what happen, and once yamato confesses, they start dating. enjoyable stories

1. ryuu, an ex host, and yuuto, a college student yuuto is insecure about their relationship as he thinks that ryuu is only take this as a joke and isn't serious, but ryuu confeses that he is madly in love with him and is crazy about him 2. aoi, a quiet guy, gets insecure when tamaki's past customer hugs him and provokes him although he doesn't have any ulterior motive, but tamaki tells him that he is the only one and trust him kinda boring

"even though mikuni renji wants a serious love relationship, every guy he's been with use him for pleasure and leave him. ichinomiya, a sadist florist, fell in love with him because he finds renji interesting the second story is about a student who fell in love with his unsociable classmate and the last story revolves around the son of a mama, kei, who gets confessed to by his coworker and transvestite tadashi the first story really had me hurting for renji, and though at least he found someone who wanted him i still kind of feel bad for the teasing he goes through"

"two different stories about men struggling to come to terms with attraction to other men, linked together with a family connection and a bathhouse" first story is about an insecure baker who visits a public bath and catches the eye of the pushy attendant second story is about a high school kid from the bathhouse family and his childhood friend

"In the first story, the main character is toxic — bitter about his time in high school, and particularly, toward Natsuo, a 'hoodlum' who seemed to thrive on tormenting him — and his unfortunate target is Natsuo, a simplistic and inept young man with few social graces. It's brilliant set-up: make Natsuo fall in love with him, and then dump him in the most humiliating manner possible. The second story is a spin-off of sabita yoru demo koi wa sasayaku, it's about partner abuse, and what happened to Kan-chan, the abuser, after his relationship was over. At times awkward and fumbling, other times adept and hot as hell, this story is a believable testament to vulnerability and the healing power of love."

"A young man works for a mycologist in the forests of Japan, studying fungi and mushrooms. Slowly, as the scientist opens his eyes to this new world and its astonishing beauty, the young man comes to love him. A schoolboy has an astonishing gift of inner sight which reveals a secret side of life when people go to sleep. A young man strikes up a friendship with a fox spirit. Aoi Aki's artwork is superb. The stories move at a gentle and realistic pace. The relationships are natural and unforced."
