I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #neighbours(14)

Drunkard party animal, Yonomori, is always troubling his neighbour and fellow art college student, Hinohara, who reacts by treating him between extremes of coldness and tenderness. Only Yonomori is perplexed by this, because he harbours the Feels for him. Now Hinohara wants him to model for a sculpture ... in the buff, which brings up the next point. So far, a lively and well-drawn, if somewhat conventional, yaoi tale.

Two-shot by Chiba Ryouko featuring teachers, one sloppy, one neat, who work alongside each other and gradually fall in love—in the latter case, aided and abetted by one colleague's attractive smell. The second story involves neighbours and childhood friends, one weak, the other stronger, who have always been attracted to each other, but never knew. The stronger (and much younger) boy is always getting into fights, and it's sad to see his injuries.

A gay man falls for his sexy, but cold and hard-assed, neighbour, who also happens to attend the same business college as he does. There is some tragic backstory in the neighbour's life, which develops further with a pleasant visit with the Mom, but so far, all we see of the bloke in love is that he is very helpful, kind, warm ... and gay. Looking forward to more.

Shinohara Satoru has moved from the country (and newly wed sister) to a 6-tatami mat apartment in Tokyo in order to achieve his dreams of independence. Izumi Yuushin, his new neighbour, tests that resolve to the limits as he is aware of all Satoru's shortcomings on the personal responsibility scale. How's that? Well, Yuushin is a free spirited kind of guy himself, and moved away from his own doting mother in order to perform as an actor in a theatre troupe, and it isn't as though he wasn't in that same boat himself, once. The gay attraction business is just a side effect from being caring individuals, but the free-spirited acting stuff throws enough doubt into this idiot couple's miso soup that there is actually some conflict, resolution and plot to go along with this little family soap opera.
