I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #series and spinoffs(3)

A spin-off and continuation of the series started in Mainichi Seiten where an all-male family of 2 moves in with an all-male family of 4. This story deals with Yuuta and Mayumi, both 16-year-old "stepbrothers" (not biologically connected) who share a bedroom. Mayumi's cheerfulness and pluck seems like a front to Yuuta who senses that there are some serious issues being blocked from resolution, and who resolves to find out what the problems are before this destroys Mayumi. The story also addresses the reality of being lovers in an overcrowded house (poor neighbours!) A lively and interesting tale with spirited, realistic characters.

Fourth installment in the Mainichi Seiten series about the all-gay Obinata household. In this one, Shouu's unflinching honesty about his relationship with Yuuta causes his adopted son to come face-to-face with the traumas of his past and how he was formed by them. Unable to cope, he runs back to the neighbourhood of his youth, leaving everyone behind ... even Mayumi?

This is the final chapter of Sugano Akira's Kodomo no Iibun, and deals with Aki's reaction to what transpired between Yuuta and Mayumi in Osaka. Aki has an ability to see through his brothers' lies instantly.
