muse ✨'s manga / #Free!(72)

This is a coach!Rin, athlete!Haru story and is not a Haru/Rin story. It's about a man whose own dream couldn't come true, so he helps another athlete achieve one. Makoto features as the best friend.

Boys being stupid and the team cheering for them.

A series of vignettes: Rin comes home early and wakes Haru up from a nightmare. Rin kisses Rei's cheek as a joke. Gou discovers that her brother is dating Haru (two powerhouses combining!). And Haru takes revenge for Rin kissing Rei. This DJ is by Batsu Game's author Conro (which, if I'd bothered to look at the faces closely, of course it is)

The boys figure out sex.

I'm not sure if we're meant to believe this IS a cat and that Haru is imagining it as Rin because he misses him, or if this is actually Rin who is not speaking for...some reason. It would have made more sense as a recurring dream.

Before he leaves for Australia, Rin tells Haru he likes him and promises they'll pick back up when he returns to Japan. But four years later, it's not what Haru had hoped. Bittersweet; not really sure why Rin was being such a jackass since he knows how Haru feels but then again hormones.

Rin and Haru are humanoid cats and live with Makoto who is the most patient and wonderful man alive.

When they're in their 20s in a long-distance relationship, and Rin comes home. Just a nice moment. Really beautifully drawn hands.

The one in which Rin is a king and Haru is mistaken for a merman, put in a jug of water for sale, and bought by his boyfriend the King, who then proceeds to spend the night with him in the castle.
