Furimuite Tsukamaete

This spicy BL manga pairs protagonist Hinata with his unrequited love's younger brother, Rou. In bridging the gap between childhood and adult friendships, Hinata and Rou investigate what it means to be "grown up", struggling to reconcile how we see ourselves with how we want to be seen by others: in Rou's case, as a romantic prospect for Hinata!

Rou is the younger brother of Hinata's unrequited love, Makoto, and is cheeky but spoiled, like a cute "little brother" to Hinata. Hinata himself is completely unaware that Rou has had a crush on Hinata for a long time, and can't yet see Rou as an adult. However, when Rou, now grown up, approaches him with a manly face and begs him to do so, Hinata just can't refuse him. He is constantly at the mercy of Rou's mean but sweet behavior and his occasional clumsy kindness. A BL story about childhood friends, starting with a one-sided love and evolving into so much more!
