Il Gatto Sul G

Atsushi Ikeda is a compassionate teenager who takes in stray cats, and when famous violinist Riya Narukawa turns up cut and bleeding on his doorstep, he tries to take care of him too. Riya has split "Black" and "White" personalities which are warring with one another, and neither knows quite how to react to Atsushi's kindness, but an attraction develops between them. Then an upperclassman who also has feelings for Riya enters picture, bent on destroying Riya's relationship with Atsushi.

Riya Narukawa is a high school freshman with a tremendous talent for the violin and an equally large bag of mental issues. After injuring his own hand to compromise his playing ability, he winds up on the doorstep of college student Atsushi Ikeda, a nice guy who's maybe too nice. Atsushi realizes there is much more to Riya than is on the surface.

Atsushi Ikeda is your typical “nice guy.” He’s so nice, he even has this habit of bringing stray cats home. But even he is quite unprepared for what turns up at his doorstep one day...a cut and bloodied young man. The injured boy turns out to be famous violinist, Riya Narukawa. Seeing the frail Riya arouses Atsushi’s compassion for wounded creatures. He decides to look after the young musician, even giving him a key to his apartment in case Riya needs a place of refuge. But Riya has been on his own most of his life and is quite unsure as to how to react to Atsushi’s acts of kindness. Worse, Riya actually has another personality within him that is not so frail and timid as his other self. Listen to the duet of Atsushi and Riya as the seeds of attraction begin to blossom between them. Then things come to a crescendo as Riya struggles between his dual personalities. Finally, the symphony builds up as a third wheel surfaces. Truly, Il Gatto Sul G. is one musical masterpiece to be swept up in.

"In this final volume of the Il Gatto saga, things come to a head when White Riya becomes aware of his other personality, while the otherwise self-assured Black Riya is fast becoming lost in the confusion. Meanwhile, White is being drawn to spend the night with his violent sempai Kousaka. But on the other hand, Black is trying to seduce the gentle and protective Atsushi. Only one Riya will be left standing in the end. But who will it be? Black or White?"--Publisher's website.

The young and brilliant violinist Riya Narukawa has a terrible secret: there are two people inside of him, a white persona and a black one. And in this ultimate chapter of the Il Gatto saga, like a musical collision, two different things begin to overlap. As the aggressive black personality begins to become unsure of himself, the timid white one becomes increasingly aware of the other person within him. In all the confusion, Black Riya tries to seduce Atsushi, while White Riya inadvertently accepts an invitation to spend the night with his sempai Kousaka. As Riya’s song builds up to a violent climax, his mind is quickly going off-kilter. Who will prove to be dominant and who will be erased into oblivion? Black or white? And who will be there to stand beside the Riya who will emerge from the chaos? Atsushi or Kousaka? Read on and hear the music play out?

It is rumored that Touji Seryou, one of the more popular boys at school, would go out with anyone who asks him out on a Monday morning. But on this particular Monday morning, the first person he meets at the school gate is no other than Yuzuru Shino, Seryou's sempai at the archery club. On a whim, and well-aware of Seryou's reputation, Shino asks Seryou to go out with him. Thinking that it will be treated as a joke, they're both guys after all, imagine Shino's surprise when Seryou takes him up on the offer! There is a catch, though. While Seryou does go out with the first girl who asks him out on a Monday morning, the other side of the coin is - by the end of the week, he will break up with that person. In essence, Seryou is a lover with a one-week expiration date. But will Shino prove to be the exception to that rule?
