muse ✨'s manga / #HaruRin(69)

A super happy & short Little Mermaid AU without the voice loss & with lots of Haru's sass.

Rin comes home early and surprises Haru the night before a competition. The one with a magazine spread of Rin and Haru wishing they could hold hands in public.

Haru learns enough English to tackle Australia by himself and makes Rin find him by texting photos all afternoon.

Cook!Haru and cop!Rin. The one where they haven't spoken for a few days and also there's cake?

Rin and Haru have lived together in Tokyo for four years, but when Rin is scouted for a team in Australia, Haru panics and ends their relationship. This felt very real. It has sad moments but is ultimately happy, and beautifully drawn.

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)

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.
