Uke is a shoe designer and the seme is a sempai-turned-enemy who apparently (and we don't know if this is true yet) spread rumors about the uke being gay at the college they were studying at, which drove the uke to try and commit suicide. He obviously survived, but hates the seme for that very real reason. Uke has a lot of talent, and it's probably the reason that the seme chose to hire him at the seme's newfound company... Edit: Hmm...there's an art-style change (and a mood change along with it) and I don't think I like it... [from chapter 20 to chapter 21] ~Chapter 63

Basically, two guys get drunk at a party with a bunch of other guys, only for the seme (Kye-sung) to wake up and find out that he slept with the uke (Min-Shik), the brother of the guy whose house they hosted the party. The seme doesn't know what to do, and the uke tells him (after they wake up the next day) to "jump out a window." Seme tries to deal with it in his head and to his friends, only to tell them what happened over drinks. Now everybody knows what happened between the two of them; will they both resolve the matter, or will they let the issue fade into obscurity? This story has a surprisingly nuanced take on certain matters, including what it means to be gay; figuring out what it takes to be truly selfless about an issue involving you; and how sometimes prejudice/discomfort about certain topics works, and how they are sometimes two different things. HOWEVER, I don't like the lie in which all of this came about; the character goes so far as to imply that another character forced him and created an elaborate ruse for something so serious, which I don't approve of. ~Chapter 20

Yoake no Uta

Ongoing | Yuno Ichika | 2000 released

There's a strange curse in this world related to the sea, and the people who stop them are doomed to pass away at an early age in the position of 'Kannagi' for the villagers. Alto is a villager who is supposed to be scared of the Kannagi, but only feels interested in him. This is the story of them, with the majority of the first chapter taking place during their meet-cute, and the later part of the chapter delving into the present. Although Kannagis normally pass away after five to six years on the job, this particular Kannagi hasn't. It's been 6 years since the main part of the story took place, and the Kannagi has relied on Alto, both for emotional support as well as a strange healing method for the Kannagi, whose black hands stained from the curse have healed. ~Chapter 19

Soshite Mata Kiss wo Shite

Complete | GAMOKO Tsuyu | 2019 released

Harukawa is a kid that moved to a different high school from his prefecture, to get away from a trauma he had in middle school. He was exposed as being gay and further isolated by his peers because he kissed his crush in an empty classroom and was seen. His crush, Koga, who was in the center of that trauma follows Harukawa after graduating from middle school himself, and is dismayed to see how much Harukawa is afraid of his sexuality. Harukawa constantly hides himself, and his friend, Matsuri, often makes disparaging remarks about gay people, trying to box Harukawa into picking 'straight' as "right." With the advent of his old-new crush here, how can Harukawa deal with the tugging of his own heartstrings, the urge to fight for what is right for him, and his friend's potential perception of his sexuality? ~Chapter 5.5

Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru

Ongoing | YAMASHITA Tomoko | 2013 released

Mikado, a bookstore clerk, can see ghosts. He doesn't want anyone to know, and can determine if they are a ghost by taking of his glasses -- those who are blurred are real, and those whose outline stays the same are ghosts. Unfortunately for him, a guy at the bookstore can see through him (both figuratively and literally) and tries to recruit him as an assistant after getting rid of a ghost at the bookstore, at the behest of the owner. The man, Rihito, offers to pay Mikado double what he's making at the bookstore, but Mikado won't do it because he's scared of the ghosts he sees and how he is disbelieved. Rihito assures him that, with him, Mikado won't feel scared anymore. What will become of this potential partnership? ~ Chapter 1 (technically 0.5)
