Blue Gray no Kutsuoto
I'm crying??? Set in a historical time period; childhood friends confess their love before one leaves for three years. Shoes as metaphor.
So Cute?
What a ride! - A wine rep who blogs about his cat falls for a restaurant owner with a feline allergy - Boyfriends of eight years are on the verge of marrying when a family member intervenes - Tragedy: A one-night stand between a Japanese assassin and his foreign target. It ends in suicide. HOWEVER! They show up reincarnated at the end of the final chapter. (Has TYL vibes -- talk of expulsion etc.)
