Hi! Can you please recommend one shot or one volume (5-7 chapters) yaoi manga with a sad high school genre? I'm actually looking for a particular manga, I can't remember the title. I just thought its a good idea to read other stories as well that might piqued my interest while trying to find it. If you know this story please let me know. There was a scene in the rooftop where the guy confessed to his friend but took it back and said it was just a joke and that he was just testing his reaction. I think the friend was in a relationship. I can't really remember why he did that but it was so painful. He excused himself and went down the stairs crying. After that the friend became aware of him, I think? I forgot how it ended if they got together because the chapters were still updating in mangago when I was reading it. I keep checking if there's a new chapter but I forgot to bookmark it. I know its kinda vague but I hope someone can help me.

It doesn't meet your criteria for length, and it is not set solely during the high school years, but there is a similar (not identical) confession scene:

Hishakai Shindo by Enjo

Edit: I forgot that there is also a part involving questionable ethics/consent (refer to the User Comments section), so perhaps take that into consideration before reading.

Yeah I read that also recently. Thank you. Can you recommend more sad or heaetbreaking yaoi manga that you know? But what do you mean by this:

I mean that the aforementioned manga contains a scene that warrants the Dubious Consent tag where one character engages in (or forces) intimate relations with (or upon) the other without the other's express permission. If you scroll down the page, you can read reviews that allude to what happens.

As for a recommendation, perhaps Seinen wa Ai wo Kou. The first story is poignant but has a happy ending.
