Detain
Guy goes to a party with friends and gets super drunk. He wakes up not blindfolded and tied to a chair. When he's being taken to the bathroom he manages to get his blindfold off and he recognizes his kidnapper. Should be interesting to see what happens next!
Uruwashiki Shuen
Well written and good art, but this is DARK so not for everyone. Two boys surviving the zombie apocalypse, one is in love but the other boy only wants his to find his girlfriend. Don't expect too happy of an ending from an apocalypse story.
Canis
The first part of this is about a hat maker who takes in a guy off the streets, Ryou, and hires him to work in his shop. But Ryou is a mystery, grappling with inner demons from his time working for the mafia. Then the second half has to do with the guys who took down the mafia Ryou used to work for, and the manga get VERY dark. The three orphans are inseparable and start investigating the mysterious cases of kids disappearing from the orphanage. Then one of them is seized in the middle of the night and sent off to a human trafficking ring, raped and brutally abused. The other two never get over his disappearance and get jobs in positions of power to find him. The plot is quite serious and dark but the plot change is odd, this should be 2 different mangas. The art style is great! Very unique!
Dakedo, Ashita no Hanashi o Shiyou
Nicely drawn but super depressing throughout. Too depressing for me. Akane is in a relationship with his dead twin brother’s lover. Keisuke (the lover) is at first using Akane to fill the void and Akane feels responsible for his brother’s death and is using Keisuke to absolve his sins. But they both come to terms with the fact that they both love each other now. Nice story, just not for me.
Rakuen (UEHARA Ari)
Hmmmm... Idk if I'm going to like this. This is about 2 guys who sponge off a woman, occasionally having sex with her in exchange for having somewhere to stay, aka they're her "sugar babies". But the guy with the butterfly tattoos finds himself attracted to the other sugar baby who doesn't seem to like him at all.
Makkurayami De Kimi To
Super cute. Salaryman finds his popular coworker terrified during a blackout and comforts him. The coworker later asks if he can sleep with him (platonically) because he’s terrified of the dark and being alone. The salaryman reluctantly does but finds himself getting too used to being with his coworker and too attached to him. Really cute, just wish it had a sex scene
Sayonara, Boku no Goshujin-sama
Interesting. Two college boys get to know each other because they were both ukes to a twisted, abusive seme.
Hitotsu Shikanai Mono
Really good. Haruhi feels insecure because his twin brother is so much more friendly, outgoing and popular compared to him so he begins to spiral out of control, sleeping with strangers he meets at a bar. Another patron of a bar he frequents sees that he’s troubles and befriends him. They gradually move from friends to lovers in a very realistic, sweet evolution.
Individual Diet Preference
Interesting but weird. This isn't GOOD, per se, but I'm curious where this is headed. A young man/teenager. get caught digging up a grave by a middle-aged guy named Ian. The teen then kills (i think) Ian and Ian wakes up in a mansion being told he's a zombie and can't escape. When he tries to escape the teen rapes him. Yikes. I just don't know....
