Hitorijime My Hero 5

Masahiro manages to cling onto Kousuke and drag him away from Natsuo's clutches. Kousuke tells Masahiro that the bent ring is just metal, and their love is more important than that. Masahiro even becomes a little naughty and tries some different makeout techniques. Overall, Kousuke's and Masahiro's relationship looks bright, while Asaya's and Ken's is dismal. Kousuke asks Masahiro on a romantic road trip. Unlike the happy couple, Asaya desperately tries to get Ken to understand how much he loves him. Now, Asaya has hit his breaking point. He takes a step back from hanging out with the guys, allowing Yunge to move into the group. However, Asaya shows his envy for Kousuke's and Masahiro's relationship through physical damage to Masahiro's body. Despite Kousuke being busy helping the third years, he is determined to make time for his trip with Masahiro. Kousuke and Masahiro have fun, like eating ice cream and going to an aquarium. When Kousuke and Masahiro get to their inn, they find out that Asaya and Ayaka are staying in the same place. Masahiro's anxiety begins to skyrocket, causing Masahiro to get emotional. After Kousuke's and Masahiro's fiasco in their room, Masahiro runs away and bumps into Asaya, only to find out about Asaya's dirty, little scheme to make Ken jealous. On the other side of town, Ken, Shige, Yamabe, and Yunge – poor Chairman Yoshida was left out of this volume – anxiously wait to see Asaya's responses to Ken's texts. When I read this book, I had no idea Asaya was that fed up with Ken; he'd result in underhanded tactics. This series is interesting, and I am curious to see where it is headed. Comment about the cover: I love how all the characters are at the beach, riding the waves. Shigeo underwater, facing a fish, is so cute. I recommend this BL manga to anyone who is interested.
