In the dim glow of a bustling teahouse, Rin-a young Neko with feline ears and a hidden heart, moves through life with silent grace, sketching worlds of kindness he'll never know. Tormented by Jiro, a coworker with a cruel streak and a darker past, Rin's days are a delicate balance of endurance, until a violent confrontation shatters the facade.

When Rin saves Jiro from a fate worse than his own, a fragile bond begins to form. But is it enough to heal the scars they both carry? Between stolen glances, a sketchbook of impossible hopes, and the weight of a city that never sleeps, Rin's art might hold the key to a redemption neither of them saw coming.

A heartfelt tale of resilience, unexpected connection, and the power of a single dream.

He had crouched down right next to one of the flowerbeds, not registering him or anything else as it seems. He's focused on the cat that had just rolled over on its back as he's gently petting it. The morning sun is shining, though it hasn't taken the nights cold completly just yet. [...] It's the morning sun that forces him to wake up, to realize that he's been dreaming once again. There's nothing warm about the sun now, close to the east border it rather seems to cool down the world and make his heart a little bit heavier once again.

Growing Pains by actuallyitsmonica
79 parts Complete
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.
