Fact Fact Lips Break – Suehiro Machi

Ryo and Zen, who were in the same year in the sales department and had been rivals since their high school days, competed in all sorts of things.
In the midst of some drunken spree, they decided to become a couple after a silly competition: “Whoever gets the girl first wins.”
The two still can’t be completely honest with each other, but as Ryo and Zen continue their “competition” – a form of communication – they start to act a little more like a couple, but they’re both so busy with work that they don’t have time to spend together and they keep missing each other…
As they get jealous and anxious over trivial things and are tossed about by emotions they can’t control, Ryo and Zen’s colleague Futami, who has just returned from being transferred to the Osaka branch, asks to be included in their match—!?!?
The two become lovers, and restart their careers and love lives with an upgrade!!
Love slowly turns into love. Just the two of them, spending everyday like this.

Fake Fact Lips Break is the sizzling sequel to Fake Fact Lips, the brilliant rivals-to-lovers salarymen romance.

Ryou and Zen are now lovers, but with work so hectic, they barely have time for each other. Enter Futami—a newly transferred co-worker and former schoolmate—who eagerly inserts himself into their rivalry, unaware the two are now boyfriends.

Futami challenges Zen, claiming Ryou was special to him. Jealous and determined, Zen refuses to back down, desperate to prove he’s Ryou’s only true rival. Meanwhile, Ryou worries Zen spends too much time with Futami. Ryou and Zen struggle to communicate what they really feel, and this could make or break them.

Ryou and Zen navigate work and relationship and the sheer amount of mutual pining and their unspoken feelings, leap off the page! Ryou’s desire for Zen is so all-consuming that he thinks “I’m greedy” for his boyfriend’s presence.

Zen finds it difficult to express his affection openly, and his time with Futami taught him it’s best to be straightforward with Ryou. When he finally finds the words, it’s a devastating hit to the kokoro, the scenes so swoony I died of squees!

If I thought Fake Fact Lips couldn’t be more perfect, this two-volume sequel is the cherry with chocolate drizzle. From the silly fights that spiced their relationship, to that desperate, desperate longing that makes the heart ache, to the most squee-tastic confessions, and that ridiculously romantic proposal, this manga upped the ante, doubled the steam, and completely slayed with the swoon!
