Tsuyogari

This manga contains several standalone stories with minimal connections. One follows Shiba, a high school student, and his teacher Onosaka, whose relationship is strained due to the teacher's insecurity about Shiba's preference. Another centers on Inuo, who ends up in a love hotel with Natsuda after a party. Inuo insists he is not gay, but Natsuda's friendly nature draws him in, leading to repeated interactions. Inuo's confusion grows when he embraces Natsuda and then pulls away. A separate story involves Shiba's brother Keisuke and Aki, who wants to progress their relationship beyond kissing, but Keisuke is hesitant. When Aki withdraws, Keisuke becomes upset. Another story features Yuki and Kaneda, childhood friends and neighbors, who rarely spend time together despite their close proximity.
