sadslime's manga / #Boss x subordinate(53)

Hiro Ayato is on the streets with no one to take care of him when he runs into Narazaki Chitose, the owner of a Western confectionary shop who takes Ayato home, employs him, and declares him his "dog." Ayato doesn't much like being treated like a dog, but he comes to really like Chitose, to the point that he wants to impress him and make him see him as more than just a dog. I like Chitose's character, especially how he seems very flippant, but really he gets embarrassed easily. No trigger warnings.

When the moment comes, everything seems to go perfect until Mikami suddenly finds himself the one pushed down on the bed and Shiraishi declares himself a top. Mikami doesn’t want to bottom, but he just can’t say no to that face! Fighting over who tops is not a trope I like at all, but it is what it is. Other than that, decent characters.

Yagi is just a goatman who has always dreamed of working in a bookshop in a world where goats are known for eating books.

So when an unfortunate incident ends with Yagi getting accidentally injured by a patron, Ookami immediately fires him, and Yagi finally realizes he doesn't just want to work at any bookstore, he wants to work with Ookami. One of my favorite stories with really adorable characters who are fun to see. I don't mind explicit stuff, but I do think this story might have actually worked better as a shounen ai, but that's just me. Still, really cute and worth a read. No trigger warnings.

Miku has a fear of men because of her stalker, but her feminine new neighbor (male) might be just what she needs to turn things around. A smutty romance with a non typical male lead that makes it very interesting and beautiful artwork. Trigger warnings: stalking, noncon, kidnapping(?)
