Naoto’s life is pretty much settled. He’s got the house, the job, the marriage, the kid. He’s not unhappy, but something’s clearly off. His wife isn’t interested in sex anymore, and honestly? He’s not even sure if he is either. That is, until another dad from the neighborhood enters the picture, and suddenly things start stirring again.
What is Naoto and Tomoyuki – Dads With Benefits?

This is Naoto and Tomoyuki – Dads With Benefits, a Bara manga that skips the dramatic build-up and gets straight to what it’s about: two suburban fathers figuring out something physical (and maybe more) behind closed doors.

It Starts With a Look
Tomoyuki’s the new dad around town. Confident, good-looking, tall, and definitely carrying a vibe. He’s friendly in all the ways that make Naoto flustered. There’s no hiding it: Tomoyuki knows how to push buttons, and Naoto, as buttoned-up as he is, reacts.
From the start, Tomoyuki’s physical presence takes up space in every panel, wide shoulders, casual smirk, the way he stands just a little too close. And Naoto? He’s clearly out of his element, but doesn’t pull away. The tension kicks off right away and doesn’t let up.
Neighborhood Barbecue Turned Private Session

It doesn’t take long before Tomoyuki makes the first move. What starts off as casual conversation about marriage and dissatisfaction quickly becomes a proposition. Tomoyuki’s blunt. He tells Naoto he’s horny all the time, his wife’s never around, and hey, maybe they can help each other out.

Naoto hesitates, but curiosity, or something deeper, wins out. The next panel? Shirts off, mouths locked, and Naoto finally letting go of whatever he’s been holding back. The art doesn’t play coy, this is straight-up erotic and raw, but not just for the sake of it. There’s weight behind every move.
No Excuses, Just Messy Reality
Neither of these men are trying to label what they’re doing. There’s no talk of “coming out” or long-winded emotional monologues. It’s about need, timing, and figuring out what feels right, even if it’s temporary or undefined.
The storytelling doesn’t over-romanticize. These are grown men with families, responsibilities, and routines, and somehow they’re carving out a quiet, physical connection in the middle of it all.
You’ll see quick check-ins, glances across the street, text messages that turn into late-night visits. It’s discreet, controlled chaos, but never feels overly dramatic.
Still Married, Still Hooking Up
The second volume doubles down. The relationship keeps happening, even as Naoto tries to keep up appearances with his wife. Which brings in the drama. There are a few moments where guilt creeps in, but the manga doesn’t frame it with heavy moralizing. It’s more about the conflict between routine and impulse.

Tomoyuki’s still cool about the whole thing. He never pressures, but he also doesn’t hide what he wants. He wants Naoto, and he’s not shy about saying it, sometimes with words, but mostly with hands and hips.
What Are They, Really?
Are they friends? FWB? Potential future gay partners? Something more? The story doesn’t define it. But by the end of the second volume, there’s an unspoken understanding between them. They keep meeting. They keep going. And maybe that’s enough for now.

There’s no big fight, no dramatic fallout. It’s just two men navigating something that isn’t quite love, but definitely isn’t nothing. And it’s all drawn with that clean, heavy-lined Bara style that focuses on real adult bodies, thick, muscled, and expressive in all the right ways.
Final Take on Naoto and Tomoyuki – Dads With Benefits
Naoto and Tomoyuki – Dads With Benefits isn’t about fantasy or fluff. It’s about two men at a weird crossroads in their lives who happen to find something in each other that they’re not getting anywhere else. It’s grounded, bold, and honest about the messiness of desire when you’re not 20 anymore and life’s already been mapped out.
It’s not trying to solve anything, it’s just showing what happens when things shift. And yeah, there’s sex. A lot of it. But what sticks is the way these dads don’t overthink it. They just feel it.
