Acid Town by Kyuugou

 

In a run-down city riddled with poverty and gangs, survival is a daily struggle for Yuki and his best friend Tetsu. Selling fake drugs in shady back alleys doesn't make them much money, so in a desperate attempt to pay for Yuki's ill brother's hospitalization, the two of them get caught trying to break into the vault of the Seidoukai— an infamous yakuza group. However, Yuki catches the eye of the gang's young boss, Kazutaka Hyoudo, and the two of them escape imminent death after striking a deal.

Hyoudo is willing to take care of his brother's hospital bills— for a price. A weekly visit to his office doesn't seem like much to pay, but as tensions grow between the Seidoukai and another power-hungry gang, will Yuki and Tetsu be caught up in the resulting fallout?

You and Me, Etc by Kyuugou

 

Iku and Keita have been buddies since childhood, and have played sports together their whole lives... until their final year in middle school, when Keita's baseball career abruptly ended as a result of the severe injuries he sustained when saving Iku from being hit by a truck. Ever since that accident, Iku has distanced himself from both the game and his friend, presumably out of guilt. Can these two friends patch up their differences, and become something more...?
