sadslime's manga / #Professor(3)

Geologist and professor Bent meets a young boy, Iris, who eats gemstones to survive, and the two begin traveling together. But Bent knows more about Iris than he lets on, and Iris has been targeted for his ability in the past and may be again. This story was fine as a slice of life, but not especially compelling to me. Trigger warnings: genocide, kidnapping, trafficking, lying.

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.

Saga is the owner of an android cleaning business in a sci-fi world who one day finds an abandoned sexroid in the junk heap.

And when they do start to get closer, worries about the real reason Noe was abandoned begin to haunt him, making Saga worry if he can really protect Noe. A surprisingly heartwarming and beautifully drawn manga. Trigger warnings: attempted rape, attempted kidnapping.
