Cetagandane's manga / #Close Friends(92)

#Stays Unrequited

#Neighbors #No Happy Ending Hiroki and Ryou are seniors at the same high school, neighbors in the same apartment building, and both raised by single parents who love each other. Another thing these young men share is an attraction that only Ryou expresses because Hiroki feels he has important reasons to repress it, flipping the blame for this choice onto others. With a grim start and no happy ending, Hidaka Shouko's keen insight and perception provides us with a clear look at a young man whose pride, obstinacy and orthodox purview obstructs his own happiness and of everyone around him.
