muse ✨'s manga / #brothers-in-law(5)

A sweet, short story about a young man who is in love with his brother in law. They live together following his older sister's death three years earlier.

A carefree son is summoned home after dad gets wind of his grades. He falls for his servant, who has crushed on him for ages. His dad's story: Twenty years after brothers-in-law-to-be fell in love and risked a forbidden affair, they have a chance to be together. Too short, but I would read a hundred chapters about the dad. Both story lines are entertaining, but the dad's -- finally being with the person you've loved for two decades -- really touched me. Honestly, I reread the dad's three chapters probably once a month. That's why this gets five stars. It really resonated, despite not being long or developed. I'd write a novel based on the concept of waiting twenty years to be with the person you loved.

Collection by Asou Mitsuaki. Full disclosure: This author is my favorite, and I will read anything she writes with great interest and very slowly to absorb the details. 1) A young escort is assigned to a problematic client who has to be blindfolded and tied up to enjoy sex because of past psychological trauma. Things become complicated when the client turns out to be someone from work. 2) A university student falls for his sempai who is in love with his brother-in-law.

Years after the tragic death of his lover, Haru from MODS gets a happy ending with his lover’s younger brother.

A month after his older brother’s funeral, Kei discovers intimate photographs of him and his roommate, Akinari, and realizes they had been lovers. To complicate things, Akinari is the person Kei has loved for 10 years. Surprisingly they get into a relationship, and Akinari doesn’t hesitate the way I expected he would. I’ve been thinking about the story for a couple of days after I read it on Futekiya. It really stuck with me. How OFF was the original relationship that Akinari can recover this quickly? Or is he rebounding with Kei? I love a story that makes my mind spin out of control. It's now Thursday (I read this last weekend) and I'm still thinking about it. Because I can't get this out of my head, it's going on my favorites list. I'm giving it five stars here instead of four since I feel bad for its rating. :-(
