sadslime's manga / #Insecure Uke(3)

Akio loves his childhood friend Ryousuke who comes to take care of him every day, but he knows Ryousuke only pampers him in place of the family he doesn’t yet have. Akio is determined to hide his feelings so they can always remain friends, but when his work friend stirs Ryousuke up, some things have to change. This story is fine but not outstanding to me. The uke is not likable but his feelings are realistic enough to make you feel for him, and the seme is cute. No trigger warnings.

Dayo is an out of work manga artist who watches his favorite weatherman every day. Only that weatherman is actually his live-in boyfriend who totally financially supports him. Only problem is, Dayo doesn’t realize they’re dating and thinks it’s a slave contract. I honestly don’t like either of the main characters that much, so this one isn’t really for me. Trigger warning: mild bondage, threat of confinement.

Haruhi has always compared himself to his bright, twin brother Katsuki, leaving him with poor self-esteem, so in university he starts frequenting the gay district and engaging in risky sex under his brother's name out of a desire to defile them both. But when a new friend and businessman, Masahiro, finds Haruhi roughed up after a bad fling, he gently patches him up and gives him a place to stay. Masahiro's kindness makes Haruhi question what he's been doing and begin to heal from his years of self-hatred. Trigger warnings: sex work, violent sex.
