sadslime's manga / #reunited(65)

Iharu is just a normal, gay college student who lucked into the vacation of a lifetime. A stranger on the train platform, Shin, is crying over a broken heart, but he invites Iharu to take his ex's place on a hot springs trip they had planned. Iharu goes and has the time of his life, but is having a hard time keeping his libido in check. Good thing he doesn't have to, because Shin seems surprisingly into it! But when his friends finally get ahold of him after a few days in "the dragon's palace" (reference to a myth), it turns out this vacation may not be all it seemed. Honestly, they're cute and all but if this is any indication, they would have a crazy unhealthy relationship. Trigger warning: lying/manipulation.

Sumio(sub) is a doctor recently returned to his hometown, and he's in need of a sub who will "dominate him to his very bones." While outside a sub club, he runs into his high school kouhai and yakuza boss Itsumi(dom), who offers to be his new dom. Sumio insists that he doesn't want to be spoiled, kissed, or caressed at all, but Itsumi notices that what he says and how his body react don't seem to line up. A really interesting story about a doctor who can't accept his own desires, though it didn't have the strongest ending. I still really liked the characters though. Trigger warnings: attempted rape, attempted cheating

After the two are reunited, Akane feels his first love coming back, but Mikase keeps a careful distance as he still sees Akane as a student and has some secrets of his own. A very cute omega x beta story with lovely art. Trigger warning: mention of attempted rape

A boy fell in love with a priest who saved him as a child, so now that the priest has come back, he's ready to follow him anywhere. A really cute shounen ai with a decent adventure story as they seek out yokai.

After meeting again as adults, Chinatsu feels drawn to this kind and pure boy and begins to pull him out of his lonely world while also dreaming of following his example and moving towards the light. Heavy on the drama, but not a bad story. The uke is very cute and the art is lovely. Trigger warnings: blood, violence, talk of murder

Daiki was going places in life until he got identified as an omega and bullied until he lost all confidence in himself. Now in a graduate program, he's suddenly approached by an alpha named Takizawa who claims to be Daiki's classmate from elementary school. Daiki is a bit put off, but gradually comes to enjoy Takizawa's friendliness and kindness. But Takizawa has his own reasons for approaching Daiki, and he's been planning this for longer than Daiki realizes. Honestly, you can get the gist of this one, but the translation is just off enough that I'm not quite sure what Takizawa's deal was. Trigger warnings: bullying, lying, manipulation.

Isa is a high school teacher troubled by a confession from his student Homura who also happens to be the younger brother of his one and only ex-girlfriend, who he dated until he realized he was gay. He's sure Homura knows and is just trying to tease him, but it turns out Homura's repeated invitations to "play" with him are just the only way he knows how to ask for Isa's affection.
