muse ✨'s manga / #Twins(6)

Ao has a crush on a man whose son attends the kindergarten where Ao works, but when he discovers the man is his twin brother's boyfriend, he is forced to give up.

Shun grew up alongside his twin neighbors and has his heart broken when the one he loves, Eiji, says he doesn't want to see him anymore. Includes a funny cop x yakuza AU of itself.

Three years after his twin Mei's death, Akane is still trying to live the life he believes he stole from Mei, including playing lover to Mei's boyfriend.

Desperate to escape his twin's shadow, Haruhi turns to clubs and one-night stands, using his twin's name as an alias and letting himself be hurt in an attempt to hurt Katsuki by extension. When he meets a kind man named Masahiro, his self worth is so low that he's shocked to be offered friendship, but with Masa's constancy and love, he learns to like himself. The first time I can remember seeing an HIV test come up in manga.

Codependency and confused feelings lead a pair of twins into a relationship their parents probably won’t be too thrilled about. Really no discussion about public perception or the future. I don’t get the feeling that they will be able to maintain this for the long run. It might be interesting to check back in with them after a decade and see what their relationship looks like.
