isino aya's Weekend of Dreams

Weekend of Dreams by isino aya (Yume Mita Shuumatsu)
It started out as a way to prepare for a future lover. Too long denied a flesh and blood companion, his substitute—a teddy bear—is now his love object. What happens when a persistent, excessively cheerful neighbor consumes his serious, carefully ordered life? An explosion of hurtful, panicked words.

Stepping back into his quiet life, he can’t avoid what his insufferable neighbor left behind: cracks that expose his festering loneliness. Only one person can fill those cracks, but he’s disappeared.

WEEKEND OF DREAMS: With her brutally honest, trembling line art, isino aya creates a companion collection to Sink into You. Love and acceptance, joy and sorrow, desire and disgust: they move beyond simple shapes in black and white.

isino aya's Sink Into You

Sink Into You by isino aya (Kimi ni Shizumu)

Love? Family? Belonging? Takata doesn't need any of those things; a gay man can't have them anyway.
Seno works at the coffee shop that Takata, who is carrying on a relationship with Seno's boss, shamelessly strolls into everyday. Seno despises Takata; after all, he destroyed his boss's marriage! But Seno has made a hurtful assumption. Can Seno convince Takata that the notion of family has nothing to do with a partner's gender?
With her stark, dramatic line art, isino aya brings the interconnected stories of all her characters to life.
