I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #Monden Akika(2)

Two short stories and a spin-off. (1) A hedge-fund manager, who always tries to buy off his sexual partners with money, hires a detective to find his former sex-friend in order to reclaim an exorbitant sum he stole. Neither anticipate what happens when they find him. (2) Drinking buddies turn into lovers, but can't seem to abandon the competitive streak in bed. (3) The lover who absconded with the hedge-fund manager's petty cash comes crashing into his past when a yakuza enforcer shows up and asks him to resume his duties as the heir. To put him off, the lover gives him a task he thinks is well beyond him: to make love until he comes. Interesting and with an authentic vibe, but not particularly realistic. Monden Akika has a thing for Ojii-samas and scruffy men.

Monden Akika loves scruffy oyaji-sans, and Detective Yagi is one scruffy old gay detective nursing a guilty conscience for feeling aroused at the sight of Amemiya, his kouhai, being violated by a psychopath, even though he put the man behind bars. Other stories in the series include a timid and straight-laced reporter who never owned up to his crush on a less inhibited colleague and the heir to a yakuza family and his very scruffy bodyguard.
