jama's manga / #childhood friends(55)

I LOVE this heartbreaking story. Natsuki Kaji has always harbored a one-sided love for his best friend, Yuni. Tragedy strikes and Natsuki loses his father in an accident. Shaken with fear that he might lose his loved ones at any give moment, Natsuki forces Yuni to have sex with him. After the sex, Natsuki and his mother leave making it impossible for Yuni to find him. Yuni decides to wait for college in hopes of meeting Natsuki again, in which he DOES! The two come across issues but they are ultimately lovey-dovey with Yuni's angelic nature!

Good plot but not something I would re-read. Shinomoto harbors feelings for his childhood friend Sumiyoshi. Sumiyoshi is a playboy which makes the situation complicated. Eventually Shinomoto confesses and the two get together. Despite Sumiyoshi's frivolous personality, he puts Shinomoto above everything else. Cute couple.

I assumed it was supposed to be a one-shot but I loved that it continued. Hiro is "kiss-friends" with Kiriya until it went too far and Hiro runs away. 10 years later, the two meet due to their jobs (construction and the other a host). Hiro realizes his love for Kiriya and the two kiss. Kiriya worries that Hiro will run away again and the two make love. The second story is about childhood friends where one is outgoing while the other prefers solemnity. After high school, the two parted for 5 years but finally meet one day where the outgoing one, Akaya, confesses to the solemn one, Aoe. Aoe is confused but after visiting the old park where they used to play, he decides to go after Akaya. The two become one :) SUPER CUTE! I LOVE THIS STORY!

In the Showa era, Aoi felt the incompleteness for this past three years for the longing of his childhood friend if he is still alive or not. Now that this guy named Takahiko appears to him. Instead of being happy, Aoi's feelings turn into a rage due to the fact that for the past three years, Takahiko hasn't given him a sign that he is alive. Which makes me realize that the pain inflicted by Takahiko to Aoi kun is so hard to bear. The setting, plot, and narration are quite relaxing and a super B! And rest assured people there is no heartbreaking ending!
