Off the beaten track

These are mangas with stories or plot lines with something new and fresh, not just following tired cliches.
There are a few tried and tested plot lines that are used over and over again in manga - reuniting with childhood friend/lover, miscommunication (both love each other but think it's unrequited), amnesia etc. But once in a while, we get something new and fresh. This is a collection of such mangas.

Hate Mate

Author(s): RECK
Genre(s): Drama / Shounen Ai / Comedy / Webtoons

Excellent characterization of a clingy guy who is in love with his straight best friend who specializes in running away from uncomfortable situations. The characters are relatable even when they are not likeable.

SPOILER ALERT: I have a bad case of second-lead syndrome which has caused me to drop many a triangle / harem story. For once, my ship actually sailed and I was able to celebrate when I finished reading. But then, we got added extras of what happens after - very realistic and very sad
