sadslime's manga / #Office love(84)

Narumiya and Tsukushima are rival alphas at a top company, or at least that's what Narumiya thought until Tsukushima went into heat in front of him one night. He can't hold back and they begin together, but why does Tsukushima seem to want Narumiya to bite his neck so bad when they're little better than sex friends. I liked Tsukushima as a non-traditional omega, even if he was a bit of a scumbag. Trigger warning: lies/manipulation.

Junya gets orders from his father, who runs a temp staffing firm, to go undercover at a client's rival company to create scandal for the president, Zen Asahina, who was known to sleep with men in his model days. Junya's blocked by the secretary at every turn but finally sees his chance to get close to Zen and immediately finds out that Zen is an idiot who hides it to save face for the company. The secretary says that now that Junya knows, he's her accomplice, so he starts working closely with Zen, who immediately falls head over heels for Junya, but how can Junya betray this pure-hearted man now? They're very cute, and I like Zen a lot. No trigger warnings.

Natsuki is in love with the older cafe owner he met through his father, Samejima, so he started working at the cafe and hangs around Samejima all the time. The only problem is, Samejima is a total slut, but Natsuki still can't give up. When Samejima finally gives Natsuki a chance, intending to cut things off right after, he finds they fit together really well and he can't give up, so when Natsuki starts to pull away, Samejima can't let go. Ch.5 also features a oneshot about a werewolf beastman who was helped by a human professor and wants to repay him. Trigger warning: attempted rape.

Chitose is head over heels for her kind boss, Shima, but she can't express it at all. However during one drunken night after he comes onto her, he says he'll do anything to make it up to her and she impulsively makes him her slave who will do whatever she says. Although she feels bad about the situation, she's over the moon to now be sharing lunches, going on dates, and even getting physically intimate. But given the nature of their relationship, when his old flame comes back into town, Chitose can't help but feel her chances with him slipping away. They're a pretty cute couple, and she's a strong female lead, so it's a fun read. Also the last chapter is a oneshot about a woman who confessed to her boss to get over him, but he ended up asking her out instead. Trigger warning: drunk intimacy.

Asahi is a strong working woman who has her life together, except for the fact that men can never finish when she has sex with them. As a result, she no longer wants to experience the embarrassment of sex, but she would like to see a man masturbate while lusting for her. Meanwhile, a contracter she works with, Kouya, is a handsome man who secretly has poor self-esteem due to his youth as an overweight nerd, and due to some past traumas he has with sex, he'd like a woman to watch him masturbate rather than have sex, himself. The two go drinking together and their desires unexpectedly come out, so they decide to go for it, unleashing the floodgates of their sexual desires. But what does this make them? I only read to chapter 12 because I thought it was a good self-contained story at that point, but I found it interesting with good pacing and character development. (Stopped on ch49) No trigger warnings.

Kanata(S) is a gamer who was sexually harassed and bullied at his previous job for his sub gender, until his best online friend, screen name CEO, helped him resign and get a new job. But when he finds out the CEO of his new job is a dom as well, he almost has a panic attack. CEO offers to do a voice call to talk him through it, and Kanata finds out his best friend is a dom. Once they play together there's no going back, but little does Kanata know that CEO is actually his real-life CEO, Miroku. Fairly pure for a dom/subverse, and I liked their honest communication. Trigger warnings: sexual harassment, noncon.

Anzu is a normal office worker with one special ability, which is that she can read minds. Toma is her stone-faced coworker whose thoughts are absolutely brimming with love and lust for her. Anzu is flattered, but she's had bad experiences in the past, so she's a little hesitant to put herself out there. But given the chance, will she go for it? Honestly, the fl is cute but fairly boring and the mind reading is just a plot device. But I like Toma as ml. Trigger warning: drunk intimacy, sombophilia (in a relationship).

Waragaki is an exhausted office worker, and Kugii is his subordinate who is always brushing things off his shoulder for some reason. But when Waragaki ends up at Kugii's house to get out of the rain and wakes up snuggled together and half-naked the next morning, he finds out that Kugii comes from a family of exorcists and Waragaki is haunted. The two grow closer together as Kugii tries to help him exorcise the ghost, but when Waragaki drunkenly comes onto Kugii, he fears he's ruined everything between them. This story is really good and I love the characters and art, but I feel like it fumbled at the last second by trying too hard for a happy ending. Still very good. Trigger warnings: noncon (light), cheating.

(Ch.1-2) Morishita is an ordinary office worker who admires the handsome Kase from another department from afar until Kase catches him jerking off to gay porn one night and demands Morishita let him watch the rest. After that, they start jerking off together, and Morishita can't help but hope this relationship will go somewhere, but Kase suddenly changes his mind about this relationship, leaving Morishita bewildered and sad. These two are cute. Trigger warning: threat of outing. (Ch.3-5) Momose is a young gay office worker whose fear of being found out as gay led him to have bad communication skills. When he finally works up the courage to go to a gay bar one night in the hopes of losing his virginity, he finds his boss Uchiumi, who offers to be his partner but says they need to get Momose ready first, so they become jerk-off partners in the meantime. But when Momose hears Uchiumi will sleep with anyone, even though he still hasn't slept with him, how will he react? I was less into this couple, but they still work. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1-2 - The Pure Merman - The merman Sango has it rough working as a human to help provide for his siblings, especially since mermaids can never lie, or they'll turn into foam. After being demoted again, Sango ends up working for the president Minami, who quickly learns that Sango is a mermaid and can't lie and becomes enamored of his honest way of life. Cute and comedic. Trigger warning: cheating. Ch.3 - Hercules? Hercules! - Hercules is a Hercules beetle who just wants to comfort and help Keita, the human who cares for him and his other bugs so well that it keeps interfering with his relationship. The bug god gives Hercules the chance, transforming him into a human and tasking him with teaching Keita how to be considerate of others. Should he succeed, he can stay a human with Keita, but if he fails, it's back to bug life for him. An odd premise, but Hercules is very cute and sweet. No trigger warnings. Ch.4-5 - The White Snake and the Prince - The white snake Shiro has been kicked out of the forest by other animals who don't like his strange coloring. He's sad, but that's when he runs into Ohji, a human who tells him he was searching for the beautiful white snake to keep him from being captured by humans who want to put him in a shrine. But Shiro is so happy to have found his "prince," he takes human form and offers to be the god of the shrine! Also very cute. Trigger warning: kidnapping. Ch.6 - Busted! The Ombudsman Club - Hazuki, the sudent council president, is trying to disband the ombudsman club, which is really a ghost fighting club led by his childhood friend Mei. Hazuki says it's because they just mess around and no one knows what they do, but really, he's worried Mei is putting himself in harm's way fighting ghosts. But when Hazuki follows to see what the club does, he ends up getting in harm's way, himself. Trigger warning: mention of murder, mention of suicide. Ch.7 -Shall We Study? - Nozomi has been accepted to a prestigious cram school, so he goes to check it out. But while being guided by Kurogawa, he finds every classroom to be some kind of boy love fantasy between the teachers and students and gets totally freaked out. He finally says he'd only stay if Kurogawa could be his teacher, but to his surprise, Kurogawa says that could be arranged. This one is weird and felt like it was missing some supernatural element that never got explained. Trigger warning: power dynamic (teacher/student), noncon. Ch.8 - Found Love With You - Shino is a student who just can't remember things he doesn't care about and Yamato is his best friend. The only problem is, Shino is feeling awkward ever since he kissed Yamato and told him he forgot about it the next day, while Yamato seems to suddenly hate him! No trigger warnings.
