sadslime's manga / #Onmyoji(5)

Akira Abe and Tamaki Homuraya are both teachers at a school, but one day on his way home, Akira sees Tamaki go with a man into a back ally, then grow a tail and ears. Akira drags Tamaki home and learns that he's a fox spirit who subsists off of semen, and he needs to feed, so Akira offers himself, only to find that when they kiss, Tamaki gains a seal on his tongue and becomes Akira's shikigami due to Akira's unknown onmyoji ancestry, making Tamaki the only man he can feed from. Both men know this relationship can't continue, but they also kinda like it? Trigger warning: noncon(hypnotism).

Ch.1 - If it's for You, no Matter How Far - Takachiho is stern but easily decieved detective who has finally caught the blithe criminal Nanami on a deserted island, but getting him all the way inland and into a jail will be a whole different story with Nanami's hiijinks and straight-up lies to deal with all along the way. Very cute, funny, and unique. Trigger warning: noncon, lying/manipulation. Ch.2 - Magical Butler - An unnamed salesman is pushing his product on the butler Tsuruhami when it turns out Tsuruhami recently lost his master and he begs the salesman to become his master instead. But it turns out that his previous master trained Tsuruhami to please him sexually. Salesman isn't saying no though. It was still funny, but this one skeezed me out. Wasn't for me. Trigger warning: light dubcon, implied grooming. Ch.3-5 - Yamada is a high school student always being dumped for oversharing about his interests (and not listening), and he goes crying to his best friend Ishimaru about it who listens patiently, if unenthusiastically. But when Yamada realizes that Ishimaru blushes every time they touch, he realizes Ishimaru might be in love with him! Or...not? A clumsy love story with no trigger warnings. Vol.2 Ch.1-5.5 - Takaichiho and Nanami are here once again, but this time it's 1,000 years in the past! In Heian era Japan, Nanami has started a business that steals customers from the local onmyoji using confusion due to its similar name, and Takaichiho is the general who is supposed to get him to change the name. They quickly forget about that though and get into all kinds of ghost and supernatural related shenanigans. Absolute wacky madness up in here. Also mpreg. Trigger warning: dubcon.

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.

Nanao was supposed to marry the lord of her clan due to her strong spiritual power, but when she was taken and marked by an ayakashi, she became an outcast in her home and lost everything. When the famous Lord Benitsubaki, head of the highest onmyo family, comes seeking a wife, Nanao is told to stay out of his way. But when he saves her after she was misunderstood, he doesn't seem to fear her curse at all and tastes her blood before declaring boldly that she's the one he's been looking for! The abused girl getting taken out of her bad situation by a new husband trope has been done before, but I don't mind seeing it again, and the setting is interesting. Trigger warnings: abuse, implied rape, implied bestiality, attempted suicide.

The mysterious tattoo artist Umi lives alone with two fish spirits for company after being ostracized since birth for having a huge scale birthmark caused by a mermaid's curse. One day, he bumps into phony exorcist Mikagi in town, and the two end up hitting it off and sharing about their traumas. But the real exorcist in town now has his eye on Umi due to his mermaid mark, and his intentions are far from good. I love everything about this story. Umi is adorable, Mikagi is a green flag, the fish are so cute and funny (and scary), and even the other humans who are treated as monsters have such good character designs. This is a good one. Trigger warnings: abuse, kidnapping, human trafficking.
