sadslime's manga / #Male prostitute(29)

Tamao is a prostitute in post-war Japan, but one day while totally smashed, he thinks he sees his dead lover returned to him! When he wakes up, he later finds it was actually his lover's younger brother Gorou, who has come to find him and declare his love. Though Tamao is hesitant, Gorou takes him up on the challenge to "make me fall in love with you," and starts coming to Tamao's part of town every day until he's won over. Tamao is beautiful and believable, and his story is heartbreaking. Trigger warnings: sex work, rape, violence/gore.

Shion is a male prostitute who fell in love with the master who provided everything he needed for his trade, but when he suddenly sprouted two bumps on his head, his master never came to see him, and eventually he was taken in by the medicine maker, Noshi. While Shion is bitter toward the master he sees as abandoning him, Noshi knows that his master sent Shion here to take care of him, since his master was ill, yet every time Shion thinks of his master, the bumps seem to grow further into horns. Meanwhile, the two are in a physical relationship, and Noshi is beginning to want more and to free Shion from the hold that his master still has on his feelings. This was apparently based on Japanese folklore, and I like the premise, but the way the horns were drawn was a bit odd and inconsistent, and the ending felt unsatisfying. Still worth a read. Trigger warnings: sex work, human trafficking, child grooming.

Kazuki is an overworked office worker who finally gives into his urges and hires the cute callboy, Aoi. The two are totally the other's type, so they really hit it off and end up wanting to have a relationship for real, but Kazuki is worried that Aoi's special treatment of him is only as a professional, while Aoi doesn't know how to express himself clearly to Kazuki. Trigger warnings: sex work, noncon.

He explains to his customer, Kazuhito Shiraki, and Shiraki is understanding, but makes him stay the night, however they just sleep. Feeling better the next day, Yuta is ready to get out and job search again when Shiraki offers him the perfect job housekeeping for him! So what's the catch? Why is Shiraki so nice when they just met yesterday? And why does the idea of Shiraki hiring other male prostitutes bother Yuta so much? Decent story, cute characters. Trigger warnings: sex work, dubcon.
