sadslime's manga / #Assassin(4)

Chinatsu is an assassin who can't kill. Kasumi is a blind boy who partially witnessed his first failed assassination five years ago. After meeting again as adults, Chinatsu feels drawn to this kind and pure boy and begins to pull him out of his lonely world while also dreaming of following his example and moving towards the light. Heavy on the drama, but not a bad story. The uke is very cute and the art is lovely. Trigger warnings: blood, violence, talk of murder

Assassins Shin and Keith are hired for a hit, but Shin is a little worried that the crazy Keith will go on a rampage. He does, but they get the job done, and after Keith is ready for a little fun, and he's not about to let anything interrupt them. Trigger warning: violence, gore.

Kanata is a shy, innocent university student who's anxiously fending off the advances of mafia boss Alex, or at least that's his cover. Really, he's the infamous assassin black swan, and he's been hired to kill Alex. When he finally gets his chance, Alex catches him off guard by saying he knew Kanata was after him but he's still in love, beginning their strange relationship and game of cat and mouse where Kanata could kill him at any time. Kanata is a truly interesting and complex character who I deeply feel for, and the artwork is beautiful. The author did very well. Trigger warnings: violence, murder, human trafficking, child abuse, statutory rape.

I really hated this one, would not read again. Trigger warning: child on child sexual abuse, noncon. Ch.5 - The Love Call to the Master - Yuuki's father is deeply in debt, so he drugs him and sells him to Midou, who says he'll make Yuuki into a prostitute.
