A one-volume manga set in the [[Samurai]] era, '''''Tsukigasa''''' begins with a man with suspicious injuries showing up at Azuma's clinic. Azuma and Tatsumi quickly realize it's their old friend, Kuroe, who left 5 years ago after a sexual encounter which ended in Azuma cutting Kuroe's left arm off. It transpires that Kuroe was picked up by robbers after he left, and Tatsumi intends to arrest him. Azuma refuses to let Kuroe leave until he is healed and the trio spend a tense few days together.
 
The robbers eventually catch up to Kuroe, who reveals to Tatsumi that he was only a healer for the syndicate and was injured trying to run away with sensitive information when he found out their next target was Azuma. When they arrive at the clinic Kuroe dispatches them quickly, and Tatsumi pulls some strings to get him cleared.
Line 8:
Kuroe and Azuma try to resolve their issues from the past, but fail until Toubee, Kuroe's father and Azuma's teacher, comes back and angrily chastises his son. Azuma overrides him and accepts responsibility for everything that happened, finally making his true feelings towards Kuroe clear. They become lovers and to Kuroe's surprise even Toubee forgives him for leaving, restoring back to him the idyllic life of five years ago.

=== ''Tsukigasa'' provides examples of: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Bishonen]]: Azuma is none too happy about being treated like a girl because of his looks. Particularly because he was raped due to his resemblance to his mother.
* [[Broken Bird]]: Kuroe goes from idealistic to pure cynicism after the person he loves cuts his arm off and he runs away from home, ends up in a ditch, and is saved by robbers (whom he hates).
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* [[Empty Nest]]: Tatsumi actually uses this to describe how he feels now that his two friends are together and caught up in their relationship. Considering he was the [[Team Dad]], it makes sense.
* [[Fainting]]: Azuma does the emotional variant of fainting when Kuroe killing the robbers brings up trauma from when he hurt Kuroe.
* [[The Farmer and Thethe Viper]]: From the robber's perspective Kuroe's betrayal is like this, although they weren't innocent people to begin with.
* [[Guilt Ridden Accomplice]]: While Kuroe never approved of thievery the robbers were surprised when he tried to make off with their maps, and Tatsumi was surprised when he gave them to him to help arrest the criminals and Kuroe ''still'' wanted to turn himself in too. Ultimately it comes down to Kuroe being a righteous sort of person and wanting to protect Azuma as well.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Kuroe has no trouble killing the robbers even though he only has one arm.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Nobody remotely discussed what exactly happened in the arm-cutting incident or their feelings leading to everyone having a completely different idea of what went on and who regretted what. When Kuroe comes back it still takes them a long time to finally come out with the truth. Kuroe also is nearly arrested by Tatsumi because he was too proud to reveal he wasn't actively a criminal.
* [[Precocious Crush]]: One of Azuma's students tries to disrupt Kuroe's lessons because he has a crush on Azuma and sees Kuroe as his rival.
* [[Rape Asas Backstory]]/[[Rape Asas Drama]]: Azuma being raped by his uncle provides explanation both for why he [[Hates Being Touched]], and why he freaks out like he does when Kuroe makes advances on him.
* [[Samurai]]: Tatsumi is a Tokugawa-era one, and thus more of a public officer than a warrior.
* [[Shotgun Wedding]]: In the extra it's mentioned Toubee will be marrying an 18 year old girl because he got her pregnant. Everyone's rather shocked.
