wert's manga / #Coming out(3)

“ Why don't you try it out?" These were the words Akashi Noboru's friends uttered to him when he found out that a school hottie, Yagi Tomohiro, was gay. Noboru who was already contemplating the fact that he himself might be gay, egged on by what his friends said, makes the move.

Yuudai is a "in the closet" gay. He puts up a straight perverted front for everyone. He is so used to lying he can't confess and come out to his crush, Kimikazu. One night however, after a drinking party, Kimikazu shows his interest... Will Yuudai be able to be his true self? - This is definitely a realistic part of coming out when you’re terrified of the outcome, I think it’s very well done. I think this is my first for real bara story since they were both pretty beefy.

Based on a famous essay by a Japanese gay activist, this manga tells the story of his life leading from his childhood up to his marriage to his husband.
