I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #Fujiyama Hyouta(5)

Two different gay couples living in small apartments, next to each other in the same building, become friends.

Natsume hides his depression by burying himself in work and overtime, but neglects his home. Touji is a cleaner at the company he hires to shovel out his apartment. On the pretext of losing his phone in Natsume's apartment, Touji handcuffs him to his couch, tells him he has had a premonition that they are meant to be together, and procedes to fellate him. Natsume is outraged, but after an electrifying start, Fujiyama Hyouta tones the story down to something much more subtle. The appearance of Touji's cousin sets up the premise of a mystery, but it isn't revealed in this story. Readers have to tackle the sequel, Akutai wa Ude no Naka de Futatabi, for that.

In this sequel to Akutai wa Toiki to Mazariau, we learn the tragic mystery in Touji's past which explains his strange behaviour toward Natsume and that of his cousin. A harrowing story with a real Boo!Hiss!Villain involving murder, kidnapping, assault and rape, but with the realization of love to warm our heroes through it.

A sequel to Fujiyama Hyouta's Akutai wa Toiki to Mazariau and Akutai wa Ude no Naka de Futatabi, this series of comedy short stories will make no sense unless the reader works through the other two volumes first, which are decidedly NOT comedy. Akutai develops the story of Touji and Natsume — primarily how Touji's possessiveness and lack of tact keeps upsetting Natsume's applecarts.

One-shot of a sex-friend relationship that develops into something more when an apartment owner asks his lover to look after his cat.
