sadslime's manga / #Drama(30)

Stories about hybrid children, like dolls that come to life according to their master's affection. Extra: Backstory for Kuroda, Seya, and Tsukishima as childhood friends, continued in Ch.3a-3b. Ch.1 - Young Kotaro picked up hybrid child Hazuki from the garbage and raised him lovingly, only to have Hazuki grow up to be a total nag. But when Hazuki's lifespan seems to be running out, Kotaro is desperate to keep him around a little longer. Ch.2 - Yuzu is a hybrid child living with retired swordsman Seya, but he's distressed by his lack of growth. When Seya's war torn pass comes back to hurt him again, Yuzu realizes that by shielding him from the painful and sad parts of the world, Seya has also kept him from growing, and he asks Seya to open up. Ch.3a - The story of Kuroda, the man who invented hybrid children, as a young man who went to war and lost his childhood friend and love. (This is the only chapter with anything explicit) Trigger warnings: war, suicide. Ch.3b - Kuroda's story continued, several years later when his first hybrid child learns to speak and reminds him of the one he'd modeled them after all along.

Yuuki and Akira are students at different schools who met while playing the game of walking on the white line on the road. Akira fell in love first, and this manga covers their lives as they go from silly teens to lovey dovey college students to working men struggling with the realities of life who ultimately find each other again. A very sweet story that is almost guaranteed to make you cry a few tears, but is absolutely worth it. Trigger warning: possible cheating.

When Yuuto's mom remarries, he gets a cool older brother, Ryuusei, but when he sees Ryuusei kissing a man he has complicated feelings about it. Yuuto tries to forget and goes to live with Ryuusei in college, but his feelings keep getting stronger, making him run from Ryuusei, who can't stand the growing distance between them. Trigger warning: mild incest (by marriage)

Hideo and Tomohisa have been dating for several years now, and after doing long-distance while Tomohisa was in medical school, they're finally living together and life seems perfect. But when Hideo's family becomes increasingly pushy about him getting married, he comes out to them suddenly then gets told he's only pitying Tomohisa and begins to doubt his feelings. While they're still dealing with this, Tomohisa is offered a position in Germany, further pulling the two apart, despite their desires to be together. Honestly, this one is pretty good, but I had a hard time wrapping my head around the central conflict they were having. Also the last chapter, 8.1, is a little abrupt and upsetting for some. Trigger warning: homophobia.

Masumi steps in to help Tobita with an agressive ex and ends up finding out about his S&M fetish and becoming Tobita's sex friend while taking the sadist role. Although Masumi isn't too into it, he likes seeing how much Tobita likes it, but as they get closer, he starts to lose control of his feelings and himself. I was on board until Masumi started to get a little too violent with Tobita, then it really turned me off of this. Trigger warnings: S&M, bondage, violence, verbal abuse.

Miyuki has always dreamed of getting back together with her high school boyfriend, so when she learns he died unexpectedly in a car accident, she gets totally smashed and ends up going home with a guy she mistakes for her ex. The next day, she finds out this man is actually Reiichiro, her new boss at work, and he's not willing to let this go as a one night stand. Miyuki worries that she shouldn't be sleeping with Reiichiro when she's still hung up on her ex, but Reiichiro insists that he won't let her go. Honestly, I think that Reiichiro's initial actions are pretty indefensible, even if it all ends up all right and he's a pretty good boyfriend for the second half. ️Trigger warnings: drunk sex, dubcon.

Kei has a thing for businessmen, so when he finds one crying in the rain who asks him to take him home, Kei jumps at the chance. He ends up spending the night with Yukifumi, and it's so good he doesn't want it to end. But Yukifumi is still entangled in a 7 year long relationship with his ex who strung him along while married while also making Yukifumi completely dependent on him. But Kei encourages Yukifumi to run from that situation and becomes his support while Yukifumi heals and learns to value himself again. Kei and Yukifumi have such a healthy relationship, and I absolutely love it. The extra is randomly about the jerk ex getting raped and then going back for more and is not really my thing. ️Trigger warnings: abusive ex, noncon, grooming, BDSM, attempted rape, rape.

Satoru loves his younger brother, Tooru, but Tooru has a stutter that has caused him to become a recluse. Even though Tooru sleeps with Satoru and seems to love him, when Satoru suggests they move out together, Tooru refuses. But when Satoru finds out it's because of their mother's abuse, he finally snaps. I'd say it's at interesting read, but upsetting and definitely not for everyone. Trigger warnings: incest, abuse, murder.

Kuroba is a former boxer who gets a job at a strip club where he meets their #1 dancer, Kaede. Though Kaede says he's dating one of the other dancers, Kuroba finds him entrancing, and he sees how Kaede struggles with the more extreme aspects of the stripping and pseudo sex demanded of him in his job. Kuroba offers to help as a "plant" in the shows with the pseudo sex, and Kaede agrees, forcing him to acknowledge that he sees Kuroba differently from other men, even as he continues to try to push Kuroba away. A well-written story that gets into aspects of overcoming trauma and pushing forward in life. ️Trigger warnings: violence, mention of stalker, mention of gangrape.

Inami is the young lord of a family who just hired a new chaffeur, Kondou, who can be a bit too honest and straightforward for his own good. But Inami encourages him and inadvertently ends up winning him over. Even when Inami finds out about Kondou's feelings, very little changes between them, until Kondou finally pushes Inami to face a past betrayal and other trauma to move forward with his life. Trigger warnings: mention of cheating, attempted rape, statutory rape.
