sadslime's manga / #School Life(160)

In the "cake/fork verse" (I can't believe this is a thing) Fujimine Aoi is a "fork" who can't taste any food and Saeki Mitsuri is a "cake," or the one thing forks can taste, leading some forks to lose themselves to cannibalism. Aoi changed schools to avoid a fork, so he's shocked when he first meets Mitsuri and accidentally knocks down Mitsuri's cake (literal). He feels so bad he goes back and Mitsuri says he can make it up to him by joining the baking club and keeping him company. Despite Aoi's misgivings, the two become close and he starts to enjoy his time in the club, but when he starts to develop feelings for Mitsuri, Aoi realizes their relationship will forever be overshadowed by the nature of their being as "cake" and "fork." I don't know who made up this verse, and honestly, I'm not a fan, but I do like the characters, especially Mitsuri Trigger warning: cannibalism, kidnapping.

When Fujii Takahiro and Kotou Tarou were in high school, the two didn't get along. So how is Fujii supposed to make sense of his life after he gets amnesia and wakes up as a 19 year old living with Tarou? The story weaves between the past, showing how the two moved from friends to more interspersed with Takahiro grappling with his attraction to someone he's trying to see as just a friend. This one is a classic to me and I think it's one of the best written yaois I've seen as far as pacing and character development. Trigger warning: incest themes.

Ch.1-6 - Kyousuke has been in love with his older childhood Saku since they first met, back when he thought Saku was a girl. Just as he's approaching his high school graduation, he confesses to Saku, and Saku is thrilled, immediately agreeing to break things off with his other sex friends and be Kyousuke's alone. After one perfect date, they start to get intimate, and Saku suddenly changes his mind, abruptly ending things between them. Two years later, they go to the same college and Kyousuke still can't forget Saku. It turns out Saku rejected Kyousuke because he can't get over his traumatic past. But is he doing to Kyousuke the same thing that was done to him? No, but the push is enough to get him to move past his fears, at least. This is an interesting story and Saku's character is interesting and well written, but he has a truly tragic and upsetting past, so do be mindful of the trigger warnings and don't read if that's upsetting to you. Trigger warnings: child abuse, statutory rape, manipulation. Ch. 7 - Sagara is a high school model who used to do basketball, and one day he's approached by Nogi, an underclassman who seems disappointed he stopped playing. Sagara finds out that Nogi saw him play once and really admired him, and this starts their friendship that quickly turns into something more. A very cute friendship that turns to love story. No trigger warnings.

Tanaka is a straight-laced teacher who secretly has a folder of pictures of the school nurse, Shirahane, which she uses while pleasuring herself at night. She's mortified when he finds out, but he's into it and they start dating. It's been a while since I read this one, but it was fine, I think. Trigger warning: threat of blackmail

Yuito and Kazuomi are childhood friends from high school, but when Yuito's family loses everything and he's about to drop out of college, Kazuomi appears and says he bought the family's debt, and Yuito can work it off with him. That's when he learns that all the odd things about Kazuomi he had noticed before were actually caused by his family's intense pheromone powers that draw people to them, and as a result, he has to have sex multiple times a day to keep them under control, but his pheromones don't affect Yuito, allowing him to work alongside him. But when Kazuomi's pheromones affect Yuito for the first time, rather than quitting, he asks to be assinged as Kazuomi's personal "reliever," to have sex with him multiple times a day. But even as their bodies are closer than ever, Kazuomi can see the happy relationship they once had as friends slipping further and further away. I think the pheromone powers are weird and Kazuomi is not a great character, but the smut is decent. Trigger warnings: manipulation(pheromone powers), rape.

Ch.1-1.5 - I Just Wanna Be a Good Boy - Everyone is born with a voice of Virtue and of Temptation who try to guide them along the way. This is the story of the voices of high schooler Kenta, who has been listening to Temptation a lot more lately while crushing over his classmate, Hasumi. But when Temptation starts tempting Virtue, as well, what happens when Virtue gives in?! Very cute story and idea, would love to see more so it's too bad it's a oneshot. Trigger warning: dubcon, noncon kiss. Ch.2 - Tsundere Template - Katanashi just finished an anime and found a new love of tsundere characters, so his classmate introduces him to the ultimate tsundere, a boy at school named Toga. Though Toga doesn't show it, he's pleased to meet someone who isn't put off by his prickly side, but when he realizes Katanashi liked him because of an anime, will he be able to take Katanashi's feelings seriously? Very cute, classic tsundere. No trigger warnings. Ch.3 - Sweet Trip Homestay Happenings - Akihisa has severe social anxiety, so his family sends him on a study abroad to Australia to get over it. There he meets Lucas, the son of his host family, who speaks some Japanese but only seems to tease him. But when he pushes Lucas away and gets into trouble, Lucas is still there to save the day, so maybe Lucas cares, after all? Cute enough, but didn't stick out to me. No trigger warnings. Ch.4 - The Whispers Echoing in the Last Station - A train conductor always makes the announcements himself, even though he figures no one listens to him. To make matters worse, after the last train one night he finds a drunk passenger passed out on a bench. But when the passenger recognizes his voice and starts to come onto him, the conductor isn't sure how to feel. Short and sweet. Trigger warning: dubcon. Ch.5 - High Voltage Love Shock! - Itsuto is a regular high school student except for the fact that in winter, he carries such a strong electric charge, he can't touch anyone without getting shocked, which has turned the idea of touching a lover on Christmas into an impossible dream.

Yoji Tsuchiya(omega) has had a crush on his classmate Jin Arumi(beta) for a long time, though he knows nothing will come of it as Jin just sees him as a buddy.

After that the two can't keep their hands off each other, but Yoji blames himself for using his omega pheromones to seduce Jin, while Jin becomes increasingly aware of how little he knows about omegas. Cute, non-traditional omegaverse relationship. Trigger warning: attempted rape

Mashiro is the quiet type who doesn't stand out, so he's surprised when the most popular guy in class, Rihito, gets seated next to him and wants to chat. Rihito is really nice to Mashiro, and even ends up helping Mashiro with his insomnia by putting him to sleep in the nurse's office. But on Rihito's side, we find out he's totally obsessed with Mashiro, and he can't help but kiss him in his sleep, leading to a misunderstanding, but ultimately leading to a relationship. I like the realistic depiction of new partners in a relationship struggling to learn how to communicate, and they do a good job. Trigger warning: noncon (sleep kiss)
