sadslime's manga / #Romance(88)

Girl troubled by succubus powers meets count who studies ghosts and they fall in love. I'm not fond of any plot that needs to use attempted rape to move the story forward. Also, her relationship with her friend deserved closure. Trigger warning: attempted rape (a lot)

Nadeshiko gets cheated on so she buys a house in the countryside which happens to be managed by younger man, Mao. Though a bit flippant, he also happens to be perfect at taking care of her and quickly wins her heart. Short and sweet if not all that believable. No smut, despite what the tags say, just a scene in underwear.

Sumire is an omega in a very sexist world, and when she gets her heat at her new job she thinks it's all over, until her boss Tachibana swoops in and gets her off to stop her heat. But it turns out this is just the beginning of their problems because they're fated pairs so she goes into heat EVERY time he's in the vicinity, which is sure to cause problems. It's more smut than story and nothing standout. Trigger warnings: sexual harassment, dubcon (typical omegaverse heat stuff)

Uiko goes to an alpha/omega salon to deal with her heat and ends up paired with her boss, though she doesn't know it.

Fuuka's never had a boyfriend but after one bad experience, she gets drunk and spends the night at the bartender Rintarou's house. He's ten years younger, but she decides to shoot her shot by joining his grandma's pottery class. It's a decent story, and I'm not sure why it's not more highly rated, except maybe that it's aimed at adults but has no smut. I liked how her anxiety and hesitation in the relationship was depicted so accurately, and Rintarou kept me guessing along with her. My only complaint was that it fell into a common Shoujo trap where after everthing goes wrong, everyone has to tell off the FL so she can suddenly change and try harder, which I think is dumb and played. At least Rintarou got told off too. 4/5 decent romance, no trigger warnings

A girl takes home a black cat one day after a bad breakup only for it to turn into a man by morning! Then they end up sleeping together. This one is beyond inexplicable, and the ending is a little bizarre. Also currently missing at least one chapter. Trigger warnings: bestiality? Or at least furry.

Princess sold to a brothel then has her first time bought by a knight who has secretly loved her all along. That doesn't make it not rape though, even when they try to say she didn't realize it but loved him all along. Trigger warnings: rape, sex work.

Momota becomes the secretary of the sadistic company president, Igarashi, and she's ready for whatever he has to throw at her! Until he gets a letter attempting to blackmail him for his masochist fetish. When she steps up to protect her boss, he realizes she's his perfect queen, but she's not so sure she's ready for that. The female lead is really strong and interesting and makes this worth reading, but if you're here for the kinky SM stuff, it doesn't really deliver. Still, very cute. Trigger warnings: blackmail, S&M, bondage, sexual harassment.

Oneshot. A sheep girl is warned to stay out of the forest, but a kind man offers to help her. Except something about him seems off, and then she's kidnapped by a wolf boy. With these two unusual men, which one can she trust? Not very smutty or well written but cute for a oneshot.

Akira has been avoiding her childhood friend, Megumi for ten years only to run into him at a mixer, except he says his name is Sagami Keiichi now. And he's acting different too, maybe it really is someone else? He's into her, and she's willing to go for it, but all that baggage has to come out eventually. The story is pretty good until she figures out who he is and comes to the bonkers conclusion that he'll break up with her if he knows she knows. Plus he basically assaulted her, but her problem isn't that, it's just that she was so sure he'd never fall for her that she couldn't stand to be around him. Stupid. Oh and the real Keiichi deserved some sort of closure. It wasn't great but I've read worse. Trigger warnings: lying, sexual assault/noncon.
