sadslime's manga / #First love(36)

Isa is a high school teacher troubled by a confession from his student Homura who also happens to be the younger brother of his one and only ex-girlfriend, who he dated until he realized he was gay. He's sure Homura knows and is just trying to tease him, but it turns out Homura's repeated invitations to "play" with him are just the only way he knows how to ask for Isa's affection. Not my favorite couple, but it's fine for what it is. Also includes a oneshot of Yuuji and Manabe, childhood friends who were reunited as a ramen deliveryboy and a policeman, but Yuuji worries that his pure-hearted friend will be disappointed when he realizes he's not the hero Manabe thought he was anymore. Trigger warning: dubcon, statutory rape(?)

Koutaro is a high school teacher with a marriage on the rocks as his wife works overseas. Koushi is his father-in-law, who Koutaro recently learned is gay and has a somewhat messy love life. Sayotani is Koutaro's gay student who was recently helped by Koushi and has fallen in love with him, despite the very large age gap. This is the story of these three men figuring out love and relationships. Honestly, the age gap is a lot, but I wouldn't mind it if Sayotani was just out of high school. Still a very interesting and unique story. Trigger warnings: violence, cheating, statutory rape(?).

Tomoya is an up and coming young idol who is secretly gay and treats his first love, Kei, like an idol he stans, with pictures of him all over his room to encourage him. But when Tomoya gets a dangerous stalker, he's assigned a bodyguard who just happens to be Kei. Kei doesn't remember him at first, but when he happens to see the room full of pictures he demands an explanation and remembers Tomoya as the shy kid who almost had sex with him one night years ago. The two get closer as Kei sees how much effort Tomoya is putting in despite starting late as an idol, but when Kei gets hurt protecting Tomoya, Tomoya finds it's his turn to support Kei. Very cute and sexy couple, I enjoyed this one a lot. Trigger warning: stalking, violence.

Yuu loves his older neighbor, Tsubaki, who has been with him practically all his life. Since Yuu accidentally injured Tsubaki and left a scar as a baby, he decided he had to take responsibility for Tsubaki by always being with him, and even being his lover! Tsubaki loves spending time with his cute younger neighbor, but he fails to realize just how serious Yuu is. Very cute so far. No trigger warnings.110

When Ayase almost drowned at sea, the merman Kagetsu saw him and fell in love at first sight, so he decided to come ashore as a rich businessman and get involved with Ayase's company. Ayase wants nothing to do with this strange world of mermen, but his body demands otherwise, and soon they find themselves living together and getting into all sorts of trouble. Not actually finished (and unlikely to update anytime soon). Trigger warning: dubcon(heat).

Yuuma is an ordinary sub who's having trouble finding a partner. Ever since his friend Mao bit him in high school and awakened his sub nature, he's been seeking that feeling of pain and pleasure, but his partners just can't seem to give it to him. He's finally matched with Mao himself, and Yuuma is ecstatic at the prospect of feeling the way he did before, but Mao is determined not to hurt him! Mao decides to teach Yuuma what a dom/sub relationship should really look like, and while Yuuma finds it enjoyable, he starts to worry he'll get in too deep. Pretty good up to chapter 4, but the plot gets a little confused after that. Trigger warning: violence.
