I remember this is one of the first yaoi manga I ever read and I've
always been trying to find it again. I'm very vague on many of the
details of the story, but I do remember a couple things about it.

The art style wasn't relatively new and was probably the style from
around the nineties to early 2000s. I just know it wasn't a manga
with the flowery/fluffy art style you see in most yaoi nowadays.

The plot was one of the realistic ones and I don't remember it ending
happily or having any fluff. ( so please don't recommend anything that
has a ton of fluff because I know it's not that ) It's about these two ( young-ish )
boys who live in a city. One of them works as a pizza delivery guy(?) and
there are some ties to either a Yakuza group or an ex-pimp. ( One of the boys
might have been a prostitute at one time or another(?) ) The pizza boy gets
called over to a place under false pretenses and gets raped on a pool table
or something like that. That's one of the only scenes that really comes to mind.

So, if it is something you immediately recognize or if you find
something related to it - feel free to comment and give me a hand.
Thanks for your time! 😀

from the sound of what you said it is ether
Shout out loud or I shall never return
(i remember that pool table chapter, the one that was raped trys to kill himself when the other guy finds him there)

i own both but my bookcase is overfull so i had to pack them away in boxes
so i can't check for you

Ah! I shall never return is the one, I think.
😀 Thank you very much for your help!
