sadslime's manga / #School Life(131)

Dayo is an out of work manga artist who watches his favorite weatherman every day. Only that weatherman is actually his live-in boyfriend who totally financially supports him. Only problem is, Dayo doesn’t realize they’re dating and thinks it’s a slave contract. I honestly don’t like either of the main characters that much, so this one isn’t really for me. Trigger warning: mild bondage, threat of confinement.

Masami works at a club where subs can get release, and he looks down on them for wanting to be stepped on and controlled. But when transfer student Yusei warns him that he needs to take medicine to suppress his own sub pheromones, Masami refuses to accept it, even when his body can't help but obey Yusei's commands. The story of a sub with trauma about his nature coming to terms with it. Trigger warning: dubcon.

University student Kohaku suddenly loses his job and place to live, but he's immediately taken in by Ten, his sister's brother-in-law. Kohaku thinks he has it made, until he realizes that he apparently promised to marry Ten when they first met many years ago, and Ten plans to hold him to it! Very coercive, not really my thing. Trigger warning: rape

Ch.1-2, 6.5 - 5 Seconds - Hayato has special eyes that have been passed down in his family. For him, this means that when he meets eyes with someone for five seconds he can copy their "sensuality," so he uses his friends to help him jerk off. The one person he won't use is his childhood friend, Tsukasa, who he's tried to avoid since he realized his ability, but Tsukasa is too sharp not to notice, and when Hayato accidentally copies some eyes he shouldn't have and goes into heat, only Tsukasa can help him. A kind of random and unexpected setup, but I liked the characters well enough. Trigger warning: dubcon(heat). Ch.3 - The Way to Nurture Love - Keiichirou is a normal working man who got dragged to a gay bar and told to pick his type, so he randomly pointed to a worker, but when they turned around he saw it was actually his long lost twin brother, Yuuichirou. Yuu seems to be living life as a woman now, and Kei isn't sure he approves, but he can't help but worry, so he invites Yuu to live with him. But the longer they live together, the more the feelings from their past that forced Yuu to leave seem to reemerge. I liked it, but it is an incest story, so don't read if that's not your thing. Note: I don't think Yuu identifies as a woman, so if you're looking for trans characters, he won't really fit the bill. Trigger warnings: incest, transphobia(?). Ch.4 - Too - An unnamed protagonist (Nameless-kun) lives an ordinary college life, except for the fact that he has a stalker following him every day, buying and wearing all the same clothes as him, and putting not-so-secret cameras in his apartment, which is especially weird since he's a nobody and his stalker, Kudou, is quite popular. Nameless-kun doesn't see it as causing any harm though, so he lets it go until one day Kudou seems to stop dressing like him, causing Nameless-kun to wonder if his affections have changed, and that's when he realizes just how much he's been watching Kudou in turn. I'm not really into stalker romances, but this one was fine for what it was. Trigger warning: stalking. Ch.5 - Itai no, Itai no - Rei spends every day at high school breaking up fights between his childhood friends, Takuma, and Shinobu, who are at each other's throats over everything but insist on spending time together because of Rei. But Rei knows that secretly, the two are in a physical relationship fueled by their shared masochism. Rei has trauma to do with pain that has caused him to develop a masochistic streak too, so he wants in on this. Not my thing. Trigger warnings: masochism, suicide, voyuerism, violence, violent sex. Ch.6 - Mushuusei no Ohisama - Aki and Asahi were friends in high school when Asahi said he'd become the best actor ever and Aki promised to be the one to shoot it on film. Now, years later, Asahi seems to have given up on his dream and only works in the porn industry, but Aki is still determined to capture the best of him. But when they fight, Aki decides to rape Asahi on camera to show him all the faces he hasn't seen yet. Or something. I wasn't really paying attention because I don't like rape stories. Trigger warnings: sex work, rape.

Yuugure Rio is a vampire in a world where yokai living among humans is pretty normal, but some species are still discriminated against, so he tends to be a loner at school. The only one who talks to him is popular Nagahama Kairi, but Rio just finds this annoying. When Kairi ends up ruining Rio's chances with a girl, he gets so mad he decides to make Kairi his servant with a blood oath, but his attempt ends up rebounding on him as it turns out Kairi is a mermaid. Now Rio is Kairi's servant, and Kairi seems to be enjoying it, but he's also a lot nicer than Rio had expected. Just when he thinks they've really become friends, an old friend from Kairi's past returns, driving a wedge between them and creating new dangers. Honestly the story was pretty cliche, but I liked the characters. Trigger warning: kidnapping.

Ch.1-2 - Amanojaku is a demon who can only say the opposite of what he means and likes to cause trouble, but Karasu-tengu always helps smooth over the problems Ama causes. Ama wants to do something for Karasu-tengu, but ends up causing even more trouble, and even when they're finally in love, Ama feels bad because he can't express his true feelings! Cute couple. Trigger warning: drug(aphrodisiac), attempted rape.

But when he tries to shorten the distance, he learns that Tsubaki is a way bigger fan than he thought. No trigger warnings. Ch.5 - Akaoni-kun's Rice Ball - Katori is a salaryman who ends up with no choice but to buy lunch from a nearby restaurant with a terrifying chef, Akaoni.

But when Kodomori finds out about it and calls him creepy, Souta is mortified, only to find Kodomori using it to sadistically tease him later. No trigger warnings.

Shioto is a high school student under so much pressure he's started cheating, but his teacher, Mr. Takara, has noticed. Mr. Takara wants to help him turn it around, partially because he has a little crush on Shioto, but things spiral out of control when he finds Shioto sleeping in the nurse's office and can't help but touch him. He decides to suck Shioto off and let him take a picture for blackmail, thinking that will make Shioto feel safer(?), but after that Shioto can't get his teacher out of his head and his grades are suffering for it. Honestly a terrible plot, but the smut was decent so I didn't hate it. Trigger warnings: Noncon, statutory rape(?)

In a world where basilisks and cockatrices secretly live among humans, an innocent cockatrice named Sora is sent to a school full of basilisks on a secret mission to get close to the student council president, Rin, but he immediately forgets his mission and falls in love with Rin's delinquent brother, Kai, instead. It was a bit chaotic and wacky, but I liked what I read of it. Still, I only read through chapter 5 because it felt like a good stopping point. Trigger warnings: violence, abduction.

Agatsuma has the strange ability to see how many times a person has lied in their life, so he's amazed when he meets someone with the number 0 for the first time. That person is Misono, a student at his school in charge of the botany club, who has few friends due to his overly direct personality. Agatsuma really wants to get close to Misono, and even ends up sharing the secret of his ability, but Misono can't help but worry Agatsuma loves him for his special number, not who he is. Interesting premise. Trigger warnings: kidnapping, attempted rape.
