Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike! is a Shounen-Ai manga by Miyuki Abe.
Fujishima Takara goes to high school and will start living in a dorm because he has lost all his family except for his father, who's always away from his work. Takara has to share a room with Hosaka Kiyomine. Living together isn't easy, and many rows ensue. Kiyomine is very introverted, while Takara is just the opposite. At first, the two get on each other's nerves because of those differences. But things turn towards friendship and later on towards love.

- There Is Only One Bed: Played for Laughs as the dorm head actually rearranges their dorm room so there really is just one bed. They had been (platonically?) sharing a bed for quite some time by then.
- Will They or Won't They?: Kiyomine and Takara, at the conclusion of the series, it's still unclear if they have or haven't, but if one is to assume how affectionately they act toward each other in the final scene, one could argue they have.
