Oyaji-Uke Tsumeawase Anthology

Oyaji-Uke Tsumeawase Anthology is a boys' love manga collection featuring stories centered on older male characters, brought together by various authors. The volume includes both original narratives and works inspired by existing franchises, offering a diverse exploration of mature romance. In the story "Zurui Otoko" by Naono Bohra, You-kun harbors deep feelings for an older man named Shouji-san, but his affection remains painfully unrequited. Convinced that his age makes him unsuitable for a younger partner and fearing that a relationship would only lead to heartache, Shouji deliberately pushes You-kun away. He allows the young man physical intimacy while simultaneously wounding him with cruel, dismissive words, branding himself as nothing more than an old man unworthy of love. This emotional torment leaves You-kun caught in a devastating dilemma, forcing him to question whether he should abandon his pursuit and move forward, or if Shouji will ever lower his defenses and accept genuine affection. The anthology also features a crossover work by Shuji Suzukake set within the world of The Lord of the Rings, presenting a narrative focused on the characters Aragorn and Boromir.
