Linnea's manga / #repressed sexuality(1)

18.1.2021 21.1.2024 Two stories. The first is about an office worker and an intern, a story about what can happen if you forcibly repress your own sexuality. In this case, it was due to having a strict and religious step-mother. It ends up with the intern trying - in a somewhat brutal exposure therapy way - to get the office worker to learn about sex and sexuality. It all ends in a sort of ”I have someone else I like, sorry I couldn’t say it before”, when the office worker finally gets to his breaking point and can’t bear the lies anymore. The start of their relationship is when “the dam bursts” and he confesses that he couldn’t let the intern go through the hurt from it any longer. So, intense worry for the other. The second story is about two students, one first year and one third year, in university. The older might be on the spectrum, and has also repressed his sexuality because he knows he’s attracted to his sister’s husband (the age gap might be about 6 years). The younger student, who knows he’s been gays since elementary school, and has cone out to his nearest friends, tries to courteously woo him. It all end up in a hospital confession, when the older student says “I like you” to the younger after an accident has occurred. Worry for the other was the start of their relationship.
