Tsumasaki Ni Kourozu, by Aoi Aki. Released around 2000.

Summary :  Iwai Arata was recommended by his professor to work part-time under a rather eccentric mycologist, Dr. Murota. The mycologist seemed hard to approach at first. But slowly as he got used to Iwai's presence, he became friendlier in his own way, showing Iwai a whole new world and giving him guidance in life. Iwai eventually develops feelings for the socially inept Dr. Murota, and he in turn realises his change of heart towards Iwai.

While this kind of mentor-mentee dynamics is well explored in fiction and mangas in general, this story stood out to me in the haunting quality of the mangaka’s art style, the slow paced and natural resolution of the events and the realistic depictions of the character’s emotions and development as people. It’s never over the top, the events play out in a way that seems earnest and real and somehow the two central characters seems believable and as close to life as it gets.
