I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #sequel(20)

Sequel to Takaramono wa Hako no Naka, this doujinshi explores the complications of a painful past on Tokura and Gin's sex life, and how they overcome it. There is a bit too much preoccupation with who gets to top for me (although the couples switch), all attributed to the tragic backstory. Gin's ongoing consideration for his partner is lovely indeed, but I can't say that I found it hot and I'm not exactly sure what brought the temperature down from boiling to light simmer. I think that there was so much carefulness and tiptoeing around, it interfered a bit with the sheer animalistic, irrational self-surrender of romance. It's crucial for loving relationships in real life, but not so great for escapist fiction as it feels a bit sex-averse.

Spin-Off sequel to Sabita Yoru Demo Koi wa Sasayaku and the fourth chapter of Renai-Rubi no Tadashii Furikata, this manga follows the story of Hayashida Ken, Yumi's abusive ex-boyfriend, and Shuuna Ayuma, his new lover and colleague at work. Flashes and hints of Hayashida's past come out during sex, but Shuuna mistakenly assumes it has to do with his inexperience as a gay lover and, before he can uncover the truth, he learns that he is being transferred to a different city.

Two lovers in a shop which specializes in pet rabbits negotiate the issue of trust after one keeps his past, as a participant at a drag queen host club, secretive.

Post-Earthquake sequel to Haru wo Daite ite.

Spin-off from Kirakira no Hibi, playing further with surfy-boys Chiaki and Ayumi (who we first met at the clubhouse with Nanami and Akiba.) Chiaki is established as the swim club's resident man-eater, and Ayumi is a somewhat dissolute spoilt rich boy who can't appreciate anything because everything comes easily to him.

Sequel to Ohana's 23:45 in which Mimori had a near-fatal accident and, while his body lay comatose in a hospital bed, his spirit astral-traveled to Iku's apartment and lived there until they eventually fell in love. When Mimori regained consciousness, his memories of his spirit life did not carry over and, so, when Iku confessed to him and explained what happened, it was beyond his comprehension and Iku was rejected. Mimori is drawn to him, however, and keeps finding reasons to connect and, when he can no longer muster scant reasons, his friends intervene, until the memories resurface as flashes of spirit bring them back to mind. Difficult to follow, but very rewarding to read directly after the original, this story affirms the power of the heart over the material constrictions.

Sequel to Sayanara Game.

Part of the series which includes Yondaime Ooyamato Tatsuyuki, developing the story of Rogi.

Cross-dresser is annoyed because lover doesn't open gifts of clothing and jewellery.
