sadslime's manga / #childhood friends(73)

In Tarou's village, once every 50 years a god is born as a human and grows up among them for 18 years. This time, that god is his childhood friend Tomoya, and while everyone else treats him with reverence and fear, Tarou sees Tomoya as simply his friend. But the day when Tomoya will have to leave is fast approaching, and Tarou isn't sure how he'll be able to on once his childhood friend is gone or how to express his feelings before Tomoya leaves. Very bittersweet and well done. No trigger warnings.

Tatsumi's voice can manipulate people.

Grew up in love with the god of war.

Childhood friend twins start ignoring ml, suddenly pounce on him.

Ml is a corporate heir and forgotten childhood friend who suddenly shows up and proposes

Heir to a wealthy family works as a servant to see his childhood friend working as an erotic dancer.

Mitsuru is a reporter working a case about "biters" (vampires) in order to prove the innocence of his childhood friend. But it turns out that his childhood friend is in fact a biter, and crazier still, Mitsuru is what's called a "nectar," whose blood attracts vampires. When Mitsuru realizes how much Ana really desires him, will he be frightened that Ana's affection is just a byproduct of Mitsuru's blood, or will he be able to truly accept his friend? Pretty cute, and I especially loved how cool Mitsuru gets to be in the final chapter when he confronts Ana about their relationship. Trigger warning: attempted rape(?).

Yuu and Kaede are childhood friends, and Kaede has been protecting the sexy Yuu from perverts since they were children. But Yuu insists that Kaede leaves himself open way too often and is in fact flirting with him, so the two start their battle of "no perverts" vs. "no flirting!" Trigger warning: dubcon.

Doppo and Hifumi were high school sweethearts, but Doppo swiftly broke it off when they learned they were both omegas. Years later, Doppo is a salaryman and Hifumi is a host, and they're still friends, but that gets complicated when they experience each others' heats for the first time. An interesting read even for someone outside of this fandom, and one of the only omega x omega setups I've read. Trigger warning: mention of sexual harassment.

Naho has no doubt that he's very cute because not only do his parents tell him so constantly, his very handsome best friend Kana does the same. But when Naho enters high school with Kana a few grades above him, he starts to feel a strange distance between himself and Kana and he realizes that maybe he's been seeing himself wrong all along. So far, very heart-wrenching for this poor boy. Trigger warning: bullying/gossip.
