sadslime's manga / #Straight to gay(42)

Yuki Nishino had his heart shattered by his best friend, Naoya Date, in high school, so when he sees Date wander into a gay bar, Yuki thinks this is his chance for revenge, though it doesn't quite go how he hoped. Date doesn't recognize Yuki at first, but when he does he's shocked by the huge change in his once innocent friend and he can't remember when Yuki says it was his fault. Kind of a cliche story with some dumb messages (don't let stalkers go free because they genuinely love you), but it's fine to read for the smut. Trigger warnings: stalking, homophobia.

Gilbert is a young master who's been confined to his manor under the watchful eye of his butler and childhood friend, Noah, but Noah won't give Gilbert any alone time, even when he wants to get off. Gilbert tries to scare Noah off by suggesting Noah be his partner, only for him to remember how cute Noah actually is. I wish Noah's character felt more cohesive, and less like two separate people, but still a cute, short read. No trigger warnings

Miyoshi's boss Usaka is known as a demon at work, so Miyoshi is shocked to find him working at a cross dressing bunny club. Miyoshi can't believe how cute Usaka is, so he decides to use the knowledge to blackmail his boss into getting physical. Would have been a lot cuter without the blackmail, but Usaka is adorable and I like his character design. Trigger warnings: blackmail, noncon, violence.

Shizuma went through a bad breakup and ended up at a gay bar where he was picked up by Minato before blacking out. The next morning, Shizuma forgot everything, and Minato was so pissed he decided to get revenge by breaking this little straight boy's heart. But as the two get closer, Minato questions his own motivations and feels trapped by both the situation he created, and his turbulent past. Absolute favorite with beautiful art and story. 10/10, cannot recommend highly enough. Trigger warnings: implied dubcon(drunk), mention of cheating, lying/manipulation, child abuse, suicide.

Ch.1-2 - The Condition of Monopilization - Miyama is gay and has a long-time crush on his straight coworker, Imoto. Imoto always takes good care of him, and he's the only one who knows that Miyama is gay, so one day when he asks Miyama's type and Miyama replies the opposite of himself, Imoto asks, "Isn't that me?" Leading the two of them to head to a hotel. But when Imoto starts to avoid him after, Miyama regrets that night that could cause the end of their friendship. No trigger warnings. Ch.3. - My Manual - Hikaru is a host who's recently been overshadowed by their part-timer turned host, Kenichi, and all Kenichi does is make fun of him. But Hikaru finds out Kenichi's not like that with anyone else. So what gives? Turns out Kenichi's had his eye on Hikaru for a long time. No trigger warnings. Ch.4 - The Love Which I Can't Hide - Chef Onodera has a crush on his happy-go-lucky neighbor, Sendou. After Sendou has a loud breakup on his birthday, Onodera gives him a bouquet that he was given for his own birthday. They get to talking, then they get to even more. No trigger warnings.

Ayumu and Kosuke work together at an airline, Ayumu in the control room, and Kosuke at the controls of a plane. They've been friends since high school, and Kosuke is one of the few people who knows that Ayumu is gay, so the two have a special relationship. But when a drunken Ayumu mistakes Kosuke for his boyfriend and hugs him and says he's lonely, Kosuke starts to realize that he actually wants to be the one to take care of Ayumu. I think these two are really cute and the author does a great job with pacing. Trigger warning: mention of cheating.

English teacher Miyata has never gotten along with jock types, so when he's assigned to supervise the kendo club with Samehara as the coach, he thinks he and the other teacher won't get along. However, spending time with Samehara, he can't help but find himself interested in the way Samehara always seems to be wearing a mask to keep others from getting too close. When he finally uncovers Samehara's secret, he's gay, Miyata is more interested than ever and immediately starts pressuring Samehara for a relationship. But Samehara can't trust Miyata's flirty nature, especially when he's long since resigned himself to a life without love. No trigger warnings.

Naoya Higuchi is a playboy student with an ass fetish who strikes out with a girl at a club party. That's when Rei Hazuki comes over and chats him up, ultimately offering his ass for the night. Naoya tries to say no, but he's surprised to find Rei's ass is just his type, and once they start hitting it, their compatibility is so good, neither one wants to quit it. But Naoya is apparently more of the caring type than he realizes, and his tenderness makes Rei feel awkward as just a sex friend. Or does Naoya deep down want something more? No trigger warnings.

Daichi is a convenience store worker who always looks forward to seeing his handsome customer, Nao, come by at night, until one night Nao drunkenly comes onto him. Daichi is worried about it, but after they end up at a mixer together, they drink and end up sleeping together. But the next morning, Nao has the perfect proposition. Since Daichi is trying to decide what to do after he graduates anyway, why not a no strings attached relationship for one month, until he leaves after graduation? It sounds good, but will Daichi really be read to let go? And why did Nao want this setup, to begin with? Fun enough, but the character motivations felt a little weak. Trigger warning: drunk sex.

Fukumi's lover left him and his life fell apart, but he got it back together when he got a new job and met his superier, Koda. Unfortunately, Koda's house just burned down, so Fukumi invites him to stay over while trying to hide the fact he's gay and not fall too in love. But when his ex shows up and asks to stay as well, things get a little complicated. I like how airheaded Koda is. No trigger warnings
