About The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese Manga
The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese features story and art by Setona Mizushiro, author of Black Rose Alice and After School Nightmare.
When Otomo Kyoichi’s wife starts to suspect that her husband is cheating on her, she hires a private eye, Imagase, to investigate him. However, not only does Imagase know Kyoichi from college, but he’s been nursing a crush on the man for years. Imagase gives Kyoichi an ultimatum: if Kyoichi wants to keep his cheating ways under wraps, then he has to give Imagase something in return. Imagase’s demands start with a kiss, but as the two men become entangled in each other’s lives, it soon becomes clear they each might want more than the other can give.

A tense, mature drama that somehow works in spite of itself.
by Mock Turtle -
I don't think it's unfair to say that a lot of BL, even "serious" BL, tends to come off a bit immature. Which is not to say it's bad, but rather that even stories with older characters in more complex situations (cf. Ten Count, one of the best) don't necessarily feel "real" in the sense that they could plausibly play out in reality. So while this doesn't hit full gauge on the plausibility scale, the fact that it scores quite a bit higher than usual sets it apart. The characters feel like they're real people, at least in the sense that I could see their story play out (more or less) in real life.
That said, none of the characters are altogether likable, at least initially. Kyoichi is indecisive and lacks agency; Imagase is pushy and obsessive; late-comer Natsuki is, at best, a chaotic neutral. And yet... I couldn't help but find myself wrapped up in their dark, complicated, angsty story from start to finish. This isn't a rom-com yaoi, it's a primetime drama; Shonda Rhimes watch out.
