sadslime's manga / #Slutty uke(22)

Shouta went to an S&M bar without much interest, but when he ran into rope artist Misaki, it was love at first sight. Although Misaki is used to sex being a more casual thing, he responds well to Shouta's impromptu confession, and the two begin dating. But even though they love each other and Shouta is eager to learn more about S&M to please his masochistic lover, Misaki has a difficult past that he's avoiding that begins to rear its ugly head. I liked their healthy relationship, although they do get into some harder S&M. Trigger warnings: Bondage, S&M, strangulation, gang rape, grooming, blackmail, violence.

When Ikkun was about to graduate, his best friend Hana (male) suddenly attacked him, had his way, then disappeared, and Ikkun has had no idea what to make of it ever since. Three years later, Hana bursts into his life like a storm again, only to have him run any time things might start to get serious. Hana is a very pretty crossdresser, but their relationship wasn't as emotionally gripping as I hoped it would be. Trigger warnings: rape, sex work

Yukito has always loved his childhood friend, Keiichi, but after Keiichi got his first girlfriend, Yukito distanced himself, moved away, and started having lots of casual relationships. Now Keiichi wants to get back into Yukito's life, and he also wants Yukito to cut things off with his sex friends. But if Yukito is no longer capable of thinking of Keiichi as just a friend, can they really go back to normal? I didn't think the leads had a lot of chemistry, so this one didn't engage me as much. No trigger warnings.

Yuuki is a doctor's son under a lot of pressure at school who blows off steam through sex meetups. Asahi is a stranger who called out to him saying, "you look like you're about to die," only to wind up as a transfer student at Yuuki's school. But it turns out that, while Asahi lives in a very different world as the son of the owner of a theater troupe, he feels much of the same pressure, and both boys are looking for a place to belong, which perhaps they can find together. I liked the ending a lot, though it did make me laugh that Yuuki's like, "no, we can't do this!" Only for them to hug and then I assume change nothing XD Trigger warnings: statutory rape(?), violence.

Shion is a male prostitute who fell in love with the master who provided everything he needed for his trade, but when he suddenly sprouted two bumps on his head, his master never came to see him, and eventually he was taken in by the medicine maker, Noshi. While Shion is bitter toward the master he sees as abandoning him, Noshi knows that his master sent Shion here to take care of him, since his master was ill, yet every time Shion thinks of his master, the bumps seem to grow further into horns. Meanwhile, the two are in a physical relationship, and Noshi is beginning to want more and to free Shion from the hold that his master still has on his feelings. This was apparently based on Japanese folklore, and I like the premise, but the way the horns were drawn was a bit odd and inconsistent, and the ending felt unsatisfying. Still worth a read. Trigger warnings: sex work, human trafficking, child grooming.

Haruya is a school nurse who has a pretty bad track record with men, and he's always getting helped out by his childhood friend, the high schooler Daisuke, who says Haruya "has something on him," but won't say what.

But when he finally confesses, can Haruya even see his younger childhood friend in that light? Trigger warnings: rape, drunk sex.

Ayumu's assault flops, but when he says he's dying soon Wakatsuki misunderstands and thinks he's sick, then offers to be his friend.

Chiaki is a poor student who's always being told off by his teacher, Mr. Chiba, to do his work. But one day while going back to the classroom after school to retrieve his phone, Chiaki sees Mr. Chiba going at it with another male teacher. Chiaki tries to blackmail Mr. Chiba only for it to backfire on him and get "paid off" with a blowjob. After that, Chiaki can't stay away from Mr. Chiba, but Mr. Chiba rejects the idea of relationships and love. I don't love the setup, but it's not the worst I've seen, and it's interesting. Trigger warnings: blackmail, noncon, statutory rape(?)

Ch.1-4 - Troublemaker! - Shiina Ayumu is openly gay, cheerful, and popular, but he's had some terrible luck with men in the past. Unfortunately, his high school classmate Hayase Souta has seen his bad breakups every time, and when they run into each other again in college, Hayase remembers him as a crybaby. Shiina tries to show him he's changed only to get dumped again, after which he tries to make Hayase "comfort" him. After that, Shiina battles between vindictive feelings and attraction he feels toward Hayase, while Hayase can't help but want to show Shiina a better relationship. Shiina's a bit of a jerk, but I feel like he's struggling and confused, so it's realistic in this setting. Overall, interesting and well-written characters. Trigger warnings: cheating, noncon, rape, bondage, choking. Ch.5-6 - I'm Definitely Cute! - Shirane Keiichi is a salaryman who happened on a cross-dressing shop with his coworkers and insulted the cross-dressing shopkeeper, Kurokawa Naoya. But Keiichi came back the next day, because he's secretly a cross-dresser himself.

No trigger warnings.

Shino is a regular salaryman until his high school friend Mio asks to crash with him. Shino is a little surprised at how naturally the two of them fall back into their old friendship, but he hears rumors that Mio has changed and the reason he needs a place to crash is because he cheated on his fiance with a man. Shino doesn't let it get to him and gets Mio a job, but when he starts to see Mio getting a little too close to one of their superiors, Shino realizes he can't let Mio go. I felt like the emotions of their friendship were depicted well. Otherwise, the story didn't stand out to me but it was good enough for a read. Trigger warnings: coercion, voyuerism.
