sadslime's manga / #childhood friends(85)

Takashi confessed to his best friend, Hayate, in high school, and though Hayate turned him down, he offered to go on a date with him once a year on Takashi's birthday until Takashi found someone to love. After 10(?) years, Takashi decides that this unrequited love has gone on long enough, so he decides to end it by telling Hayate he found someone. But now it seems Takashi isn't ready to let go. No trigger warnings.

Yuma is depressed, but every time he says he wants to die, his best friend since high school, Yasuharu, offers to eat him when he does, snapping him out of it. But when it's all too much one night, Yuma tells Yasuharu that he really can eat him, and Yasuharu breaks down and admits he's in love with Yuma and can't bear his suicide jokes. After that, Yasuharu unleashes all his twisted love on Yuma. Honestly, this one is way too casual about the abusive nature of their relationship for my tastes. Trigger warnings: suicidal ideation, yandere, noncon, forced confinement, stalker.

Shion and Rui are notorious playboys until one day Shion's heartbreaking catches up with him, and a girl slips him a pill that causes him to turn into a woman. Rui finds him and gets super turned on, so they go at it, which is how they find out that sleeping with men can turn Shion back, but only until the next time he orgasms, setting them off on a journey to find a more permanent cure.

Nagina and Sora are ex boyfriends who are dramatically reunited when they accidentally move in together. Nagina broke Sora's heart, so Sora demands revenge by playing withe Sora.

Ritsu is an omega who's always wanted to seduce his childhood friend, Satoshi, even though Satoshi is a beta, so he decides to pretend to be totally slutty to do it! Except Satoshi is totally an alpha who is using every trick in the book to keep Ritsu by his side. Trigger warnings: lying/manipulation, dubcon.

Tomoki feels like he struggles to make friends because of his popular childhood friend, Takaya, so he decides to go to a boarding school far from home. To his surprise, Takaya follows him there too as and his struggle for a normal high school life begins. Trigger warning: obsessive behavior.

Kanade is an overworked office worker who slips and falls on her way home, only to wake up to her high school ex, Tatsumi, looking over her at the hospital. If that wasn't weird enough, she gets home to find her mother has given him a key and he'll be staying at her place while she recovers. He starts to get touchy feely, and Kanade thinks maybe it wouldn't be so bad to lose her virginity in a no strings attached night with her ex. Except, he deosn't seem to think he's her ex at all? Tatsumi seems pretty scummy, but he is very pretty. Trigger warnings: noncon (somnophilia), dubcon.

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.

Kiyo is an omega with a surprisingly big stature who makes his living as a pole dancer, and Chiaki is his alpha childhood friend who has always taken care of Kiyo without realizing Kiyo is in love with him. After Kiyo puts himself in a dangerous situation and Chiaki saves him, his feelings come out and their relationship begins, but Kiyo is a bit of an airhead and prone to jumping to conlcusions, leading to some crazy bumps in the road. Not to spoil anything, but I think the conclusion to the first major conflict in their relationship is buck wild (and kind of a quick resolution that makes everything okay, but less interesting). Still, a cute couple (with a rare, bigger top) and a fun read. Trigger warning: attempted rape(?)

Keita is gay, and his type is straight guys, which always ends with him crying in the arms of his best friend since high school, Ryujiro, who also happens to be Keita's longtime unrequited love. Even though Ryujiro is straight, he'll sleep with Keita whenever Keita says he's lonely after a breakup, so Keita can't help but take advantage of it. Still, he knows he needs to find a new love. But it turns out Ryujiro has a few secrets of his own that could change everything between them. Maybe the ultimate case of failure to communicate. I really enjoy reading both sides of this one. No trigger warnings.
