While the rest of their family seems to be in the know about their relationship and are fine with it (for the most part), to an outsider they display themselves simply as brothers. Haru, however, has no problems with kissing Ren in the middle of his school foyer, in plain sight of one of Ren's friends.

[[YaoiGenre Yaoi manga]] by Abe Miyuki.
Haru visits Canada to spend the summer holidays in the woodland house of his strict, strong-willed mother, Haruko. There, she burdens him with the responsibility of caring for his younger adoptive brother - a wild and unruly little boy named Ren who trusts no-one and prefers to wander in the woods with Haruko's dogs rather than associate other people. Haruko orders Haru to 'civilize' Ren.
As the young man strives to teach Ren how to live in human society, their relationship gradually improves - so much so that Haru plans on taking his 'little brother' to Japan with him once he finds a job.
Unfortunately, fate has a cruel habit of interfering with one's plans...

->Haru: ''"I can only sleep when it's with you."''
* ShotaCon: Haru is often called that (by the fandom, no less)

* TalkingInBed: Haru and Ren, all the time
* YaoiGuys: [[CaptainObvious What a surprise..]]
