Yane's manga / #Debt(7)

CEO (seme) x actor (uke) My rating: 10/10 This is such a beautiful story, a melodrama which managed to get me emotionally invested. The art is awesome and I love the couple's dynamic and how it shifts later on. Definitely a must-read. CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP, DEBT, TOXIC SEME Rookie actor Seo Yeon-Oh lives a pathetic life as a no-namer; paying his dad's ever-increasing gambling debts. But one day, a CEO of a Big Company named Jae-Hyeok asks him to act as his lover and even gives him a sponsorship...! But how far will he have to go in his acting? And why did Jae-Hyeok choose him of all people?

Rich businessman (seme) x poor dealer (uke) My rating: 9,7/10 Beautiful art, TOXIC RELATIONSHIP, DEBT, POSSESSIVE SEME, TOUGH UKE After the death of his father, Joo Hawon is left with his father’s astronomical debt in the foreign land of Macau. With no future in sight, Hawon works as a casino dealer, barely getting by each day. One day, a mysterious man, Kwon Taeha, shows interest in him. He offers Hawon to pay off his debt entirely if he works at a dealer on a cruise ship for a limited time. Although things seem fishy, Hawon agrees to this tempting proposal. But is this really all there is to it. Or does Taeha, who starts acting strange when it's just the two of them, have some hidden motive? ️ Edit (Spoiler): Taeha wants to use Hawon to get a hold of wiki links with important information regarding the weaknesses of many important people which are kind of the legacy of Hawon's father. Also, Taeha is twisted and sometimes cruel because he himself was abducted by Hawon's father in the past because of him being the son of an important businessman.

Host (seme) x chef (uke) My rating: 8/10 I like the mixture of fluffy moments and drama. Although the problems are resolved quickly it's still impactful for their relationship. The themes are finding a place for yourself and accepting others without prejudices. The couple's great, the uke's more serious and the seme's optimistic, extroverted and caring. DINER, HOST, DEBT, SHITTY EX, WHOLESOME Ichiro, a poor chef struggling to pay off his debt, runs a small diner with very few customers. But every night, a bunch of hosts come to eat after having finished their work. Although Ichiro isn't really fond of them, he still needs them as customers and treats them. But the most popular one of them, Seiichi, seems to have taken a liking to him. And somehow, his positive and earnest words get him to warm up to the man.

Loan shark (seme) x AV actor (uke) My rating: 7,8/10 DEBT, SEME CHASES UKE, DRAMA, PORNO After Izumi Hasegawa's friend went MIA, he's left with his debt being his guarantor. As he's only a poor AV actor, he flees from the loan shark on his bike. But Masao catches up to him at the entrance of a sleazy motel and not only wants the money, but seems interested in sex as well.

Banker x fallen noble lady My rating: 9/10 He is toxic, their relationship is abusive. It's interesting cuz it's psychological, not because it's so romantic. I like the FL, she fights for herself. DRAMA, OBSESSIVE ML, DEBT Lawrence Di Bicci, a young banker who dominated the Kosimo Empire, lets Rahui, a mixed-race girl, pay off her family's debt by working for him for 10 years. He plans on using her to get closer to the royal family by making her the princess's lady in waiting. But over time, he becomes more and more obsessed with her, tormenting her with his wish to own her. Can this be love? And will she ever get away from him?

My rating: 7,5/10 It was rather cute for a story about debt collectors. The uke had a domestic and soft side in spite of his appearance and the seme reminded me of a big nice dog. It's cute seeing him "become gay" DEBT, STRAIGHT SEME The uke, a gay debt collector, likes messing around with his straight debtors. When he comes to collect the debt of a family whose father has left, he encounters a young man who's just his type (seme) and offers him to let him repay the money with his body.

My rating: 7/10 Even though I dislike the art style I love the characters. The protagonists are both so oblivious it's adorable. The ML's a player with mommy issues and the FL's an introvert. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat. But the romanisation of r4pe isn't it. There are so many harmful and toxic things happening in here while the story keeps its "cute" vibe. And the ending is rushed. YAKUZA, MANGAKA, DEBT A mangaka gets an unexpected visit from a scary-looking yakuza. After carelessly becoming the guarantor for her friend's loan, she is told to settle his huge debt. The yakuza agrees to wait for the repayment if she sleeps with him. But he's surprisingly gentle.
