boys love Stories for tears

The day I met with crybaby-kun.

A collection of BL oneshots and illustrated essays from Yamashita Tomoko. 1) **Stroboscope** Kazu, the owner of a run-down coffee shop, becomes the inadvertent host to Renji, a young man who perceives Kazu's hunger for the touch of another person. The pain of this realization only increases the torment of Kazu, who has long ago given up on his longing for love. 2) **Chain Gang** Always together, one man drinks at another man's home when he can't catch the last train home, but what is this feeling of deprived freedom? 3) **Good Morning, Bad Day** 4) **Devil's Thoroughbred** Kinaga-s act of kindness and friendship is repaid in the most unexpected way. Yamashita Tomoko's pre-debut work!

This “Sea Series” includes the 3 following stories: 1) **Umi to Heavy Smoker** (海とヘビースモーカー) 2) **Umi to Ouji-sama** (海と王子様) 3-5) **Mikan no Umi** (蜜柑の海)

"Please no more...Save me, Nakamuraaah...!" With the stress from work and his girlfriend, Seta's body, mind and spirit are all reaching their breaking point. Then along comes his subordinate--body pillow fanatic--Nakamura, who proposes that they become sleep buddies (friends who sleep next to each other). With his mental state stretched to its limits, he decides to try it; but seriously, with a guy?! Buuut...why does it feel so nice to be enveloped in the strong arms of his brash subordinate? **Includes One Shots:** First Bite (ファーストバイト), Katappashi kara Zenbu Ai (片っ端からぜんぶ愛) **Includes Side Stories:** Bed wa Futatsu Irimasen (ベッドはふたついりません), Yokuasa no Dekigoto (翌朝の出来事)
