I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #D/s(7)

Unloved catamite.

Dark oneshot about a BDSM encounter with knife slashing, drugging and rape-play. The final scene makes it clear that consent was implicit. Although this is framed as a one-off, there is more that hasn't yet been translated. This is a good story for people looking for hardcore kink.

Office lovers in a D/s relationship which relies heavily on emotional disrespect. Bleh. Not my kink.

Sakurai Ryou's beautiful drawings of male bodies and emotional expressions add to a light story of two gay, but very masculine and sexy, teaching colleagues abandoning uncommitted hook-ups and "hitching their wagons" to each other. The second story broaches the serious subject of closeted gay men and homophobia in the workplace, but within the context of such a jokey D/s relationship with blackmail and humiliation, it left me cold and cheated. The first story is definitely the winner.

Beautifully drawn yaoi oneshot about a realistic D/s relationship between two gay men. The Dominant man was always in second-place during highschool and college to the subordinate, and asserts his control through the use of shibari and potentially compromising photos. He withholds his verbal affirmation of love to Watari, the subordinate, but continues to make love to him, expressing it nonverbally. So the power exchange is balanced. Again, I'm always surprised by the low ratings which Rocky gets when her stories are so nuanced. For all the emotional insecurity they appear to inspires, this mangaka's work is not as ambiguous as it seems.

A D/s humiliation story involving various fetishes including sounding, obedience training, dog collars, toys and a plot twist.

Glory hole story for people with a ravishment kink, with added incest and humiliation D/s thrown in. I would prefer it as a one-shot that ends after the first chapter, as the others never really add to the story, although there is an interesting public sex kink scene at the end. The last chapter is a separate story involving a shotacon who has the tables turned on him. The shotacon part is a real turn-off for me.
