Nemureru Kimi No Barairo No Kuchibiru
Complete | Sakura Ashika | 2005 released
The first story was WAY TOO relatable for me! Not that it was bad, it was excellently portrayed, actually. I went through that self-destructive phase for about two years after I was raped and then found a safer and healthier outlet... BDSM! LOL The rest of the stories were also sweet and even the hikikomori was relatable, since I have only left my home twice in the last year and a half. My favorite was the one where the guy divorced his "company wife" to be with his lover. That rarely happens in manga and it was a surprise. I was also surprised by the same lover coming out to his female superior because he couldn't get overtime! That was great. For once, being gay was a perk in a manga rather than a detriment.
