Don't Cry Even in a Dream

This compelling manga collection begins with Satori, who unexpectedly discovers his classmates' notorious "Lone Wolf," Tsuki, shedding tears. Upon learning that Tsuki is grieving the loss of his beloved crush, Satori kindly offers to help him move on by introducing him to some new girls. As the two spend increasingly more time together, Satori comes to realize that underneath Tsuki's tough exterior lies a genuinely good person. However, a creeping sense of unease takes hold of Satori when he begins having recurring dreams of Tsuki walking away from him. This growing anxiety raises questions about how it will ultimately impact their newfound friendship and emotional bond. The collection also follows the poignant story of Eri, who has spent years dressing as a girl solely so his childhood friend, Touma, would find him cute. Now in college, mounting social pressure suggests that Eri should finally start dressing like a guy, yet Touma insists that Eri is already fine just the way he is. The dynamic between the two shifts dramatically one night when a drinking outing leads them to the brink of an unexpected kiss, complicating their lifelong relationship.
