sadslime's manga / #Heat(13)

In a world where basilisks and cockatrices secretly live among humans, an innocent cockatrice named Sora is sent to a school full of basilisks on a secret mission to get close to the student council president, Rin, but he immediately forgets his mission and falls in love with Rin's delinquent brother, Kai, instead. It was a bit chaotic and wacky, but I liked what I read of it. Still, I only read through chapter 5 because it felt like a good stopping point. Trigger warnings: violence, abduction.

Avel comes from a tribe who determines their gender at their first sexual experience. He'd always expected to become the chief, but after being saved by a member of the shark-descended rival tribe, Tukiri, the two are unexpectedly swept away by heat-like symptoms and mate. Now Avel has no choice but to be an offering to the rival tribe, but when he arrives, it's nothing like he thought. I liked this story more than I thought I would, but the mystery they build up around why the tribes do things the way they do has a disappointing conclusion, imo. Trigger warnings: dubcon(heat), voyuerism.

1-3 Zenya Kitataka always grew up around animals and misses it at college, so he thinks maybe he's hallucinating when he first sees cat ears on fellow student Takeru Nekoya's head. But it turns out Takeru's family has long been possessed by a cat demon, and only their mate can see the ears and tail. Takeru just wasn't expecting his to be a boy. 4 - Double Effect -Ren Misaki is a radio DJ, and his coworker Soichiro Uozumi is always watching him. His straightforward gaze gets Ren hot and bothered, so he ends up coming to work with a vibrator inside him. What will happen when the two finally come forward about what they feel? 5 - Overdrive - Keita Ikoma is a new worker who becomes the manager of a band, and he happens to know one of the members, Ryosuke, from his own days in a cover band.
