Hitorijime My Hero

This is a work by Akai Memeco-sensei, which has also been adapted into an anime. It started as a spin-off of characters from 'Hitorijime Boyfriend' but became incredibly long, with 17 volumes out so far and still ongoing lol. Couplings from the Boyfriend series also appear. Synopsis Masahiro Setagawa, a weak-willed delinquent searching for his "place to belong," meets Kousuke Ooshiba, a high school teacher nicknamed "Bear Killer." Masahiro, who admires Kousuke and becomes his underling, is told one day as a first-year high school student, "I can't reciprocate your feelings." Confused by this sudden turn of events, Masahiro gradually begins to realize feelings beyond admiration for Kousuke. Kousuke wished to make Masahiro, who tends to bottle up his problems and can't rely on others, cry in his arms and make him happy. This story, which begins with meeting an irreplaceable "hero," unfolds with delicate psychological depictions and unique characters.
