sadslime's manga / #Runaway(2)

Hazuki is a drunk good-for-nothing who picks up a runaway, Makoto, one day, and they end up living together. Although Makoto is self-conscious and uncomfortable at first, he comes to accept and rely on the kindness that Hazuki and his friends show. But when Makoto realizes he's fallen for Hazuki, he feels he should distance himself before things go too far. Makoto is a very sweet and cute kid, despite his first impression as a runaway with a knife. Trigger warnings: alcoholism.
