one-shot volume spin-off of 'Fox-Colored Jealousy'

cole's blurb: "a great one-shot staring a gamer wolfboy and his intimidating upperclassman biker neighbor, soooo delicious"

first off, this is a spin-off from the other manga i have rec'd here Fox Colored-Jealousy. staring the wolf-cursed classmate from that manga, this one revolves around his struggles dealing with hieghtened 'wolf instincts' during the full moon. his neighbor, who also happens to be his senior at university, happens to catch him all wolf'd out, but doesn't mention it at all the next time they see each other!

the majority of the book is the two getting to know each other, spending more time together, getting closer, maybe going on a date? you know, the classic BL style of figuring out crushes. i will note that both of them are cannonically queer instead of the typical 'but we're both boys' trope i see way too much of, which is A+. the art is so crisp, the fangs we see on Hayato make a super cute wolf boy, and there are three intimacy scenes that have plot relevance, astounding work!
