Ameiro no Toge

Complete | HAYAKAWA Nojiko | 2000 released

Very sweet, sad, and touching story about unrequited love. The hint of hope at the end stopped it from being too painful. It's very realistic in the sense that the character would be ostracized for his orientation, and he'd be afraid of acting on his feelings. It's nice to see actual gay characters and not just "surprise gay" characters in shounen ai.

Interesting so far. Someone posted something that makes me think a lot more of this has been translated already, but for whatever reason only one chapter has been uploaded here, even with two different versions on the site. I hope someone helps him, though. I hate stories where they end up with their captor and just get full on stockholm syndrome or something. That's typically how it goes. I hope he falls for someone else who actually treats him well. But I guess we'll see.
