muse ✨'s manga / #multiple stories(215)

Two stories: Childhood friends who finally confess their longtime mutual love. One can't hold down a job and is always taken care of by the other. After they're together, he deals with premature ejaculation and is a hilarious character who gets lots in his fantasies a lot. The second story is about a boy who is seen hugging a friend's jacket by a frightening classmate, who turns out to be a warm and supportive friend (and maybe future boyfriend). Open ending.

The best story in here was the oneshot about the man whose mother had warned him against a haunted house - to find later it was inhabited by prostitutes. I wanted to know more about him and the man he'd started to see. There was also a sickly childhood friend who had recovered and come home; I wanted to know if their relationship ever got off the ground, what happened with the distance college had put between them. Neither is developed past the initial groundwork.

I like this author, and I appreciate that this author experiments with a lot of different subjects. This collection includes twincest, the intersection between arousal and violence, and a really nice story about a guy who taps into the sensuality of any person or animal he makes eye contact with for more than five seconds. If that's the ONLY one you want to read, read the first two and the final chapters. Chapter 3 is twincest. Skip if necessary.

The ending may feel abrupt but it's appropriate.

This is two stories in one. I didn't care about the first couple; the main character went into hardcore fantasy mode a little too often. The second couple, a librarian and student, was more interesting. I would've liked a fully developed slow-burn on them, but it is what it is.

Guys on a sports team in love. The main story is a demon who falls for a potter, whose bloodline is cursed. They have a lot of acrobatic sex. Synne possibly proofread the last chapter and I'm laughing about it.

A gentle attempt to educate readers about what being supportive of LGBT family and friends looks like vs. being fascinated by something different. Also touches on a gay parent concerned his son might also be in a same-sex relationship. Past noncon in a chapter that is used as a plot device; wish that one had been fleshed out more.

two stories in one! childhood friends who have pretty much always been in love (and are really open about it) and two high school friends who end up living together
