I Want to See Me in Your Eyes

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!

When Hinata's best friend, Makoto—with whom he's been in unrequited love for years—moves in with his girlfriend, Hinata is heartbroken... That is, until Makoto's younger brother, Toki—who may or may not be harboring some unrequited feelings of his own—suddenly decides to move in with Hinata!

Toki is like a little brother to Hinata! So when Toki rolls over in his sleep and starts kissing him, Hinata assumes it's just a fluke. Toki must have been dreaming about somebody else, right? It's not like Toki is totally in love with Hinata and desperately jealous of his feelings for Makoto... right?

And what if it is...? Are Hinata's growing feelings for Toki just a bandaid for his broken heart? A replacement for Makoto? Or could there be real feelings and a real future between Hinata and his best friend's brother?
