kyokosama's manga / #Closet gay(3)

Chiaki and Kei are best friends since kindergarten. And both have feelings for each other but they have gone through life without saying a thing. Includes an extra story about Hina, a gay high schooler, in love with one of his friend and Haniwa, the delinquent in his class, who finds out about Hina secret. It has a pretty funny reference to "Castle in the sky" movie at page 14. It's a simple but good story about a couple of strangers that pass from classmates to friends and from friends to, I hope, lovers.

Takase is a gay man that pretends to be straight by having girlfriend and all, but he is secretly in love with a man who always waits for his lover at a caffe in the station. He doesn't want people to know that he is gay but at the same time he is tired of pretending to be someone that he isn't. Yuuichi is a man who is openly gay that on the same day he talked with Takase for the first time, got dumped by his boyfriend who now is about to have a baby. He has had really bad experience in love and has decided that he is not going to date anyone who has a woman as an option too. These two are just adorable. It's pretty relatable when Takase is afraid to show himself as he is and how Yuuichi is afraid to love again like an idiot just to be tossed aside. I love this story.

Kurama is a closet gay college student who takes part in the theatre club as costume designer, there he meets Kirishima, the heir of a fabric factory and his junior at college. There is this thing: Kurama yearns for some man ravished him and he finds that Kirishima is perfect for the job, so he starts to fantasising about him, and on the other hand there is Kirishima, who yearns for Kurama since he was in middle school and has been holding an one-sided love since then for Kurama. I liked it in general but I kind of hate that their relationship was so toxic.
