sadslime's manga / #salaryman(47)

When Ayase almost drowned at sea, the merman Kagetsu saw him and fell in love at first sight, so he decided to come ashore as a rich businessman and get involved with Ayase's company. Ayase wants nothing to do with this strange world of mermen, but his body demands otherwise, and soon they find themselves living together and getting into all sorts of trouble. Not actually finished (and unlikely to update anytime soon). Trigger warning: dubcon(heat).

Salaryman accidentally summons and sleeps with demon king

Yuuki is a regular salaryman descended from mages, and to strengthen their spiritual power, he's been engaged to someone from a Chinese family with strong spiritual power all his life. When they finally meet, his partner Shunen turns out to be a young man with loose morals, and Yuuki is not interested, until he finds out that as a "floral pearl," Shunen needs to have sex or he'll die (or something like that). Thus begins their adventures as an engaged couple. Interesting and funny, but it's not finished and unlikely to be updated any time soon. Trigger warnings: dubcon, drug (roofie), attempted rape.

Yuuma is an ordinary sub who's having trouble finding a partner. Ever since his friend Mao bit him in high school and awakened his sub nature, he's been seeking that feeling of pain and pleasure, but his partners just can't seem to give it to him. He's finally matched with Mao himself, and Yuuma is ecstatic at the prospect of feeling the way he did before, but Mao is determined not to hurt him! Mao decides to teach Yuuma what a dom/sub relationship should really look like, and while Yuuma finds it enjoyable, he starts to worry he'll get in too deep. Pretty good up to chapter 4, but the plot gets a little confused after that. Trigger warning: violence.

Ichinose is just a stern looking salaryman who loves cats, so when he meets his neighbor, Tsuchiya, trying to catch his runaway cat on the street, Ichinose begs Tsuchiya to let him come over and pet his cat. The two end up becoming close friends and having dinner together often, all while Tsuchiya tries to hide the fact that he's had a huge crush on Ichinose all along. Cute relationship, but in all serious, spay and neuter your pets. No trigger warnings.

The convenience store worker Higa always finds himself fighting with his salaryman customer, Tatemura, so neither are thrilled when they're matched up by a friend for a blind date. Higa suggests Tatemura lend him his body to work off his frustration, and the two spend the night together and find they have surprisingly good compatibility in bed, though they still can't get along. But due to a series of coincidences and misunderstandings, both think that the other has developed feelings for them, and they're surprisingly willing to go along with it. Also they happen to be neighbors. Trigger warning: homophobia

Matsuoka is an ordinary salaryman who has the unusual hobby of dressing as a woman at night for the thrill of it, until one day things go too far and he's almost raped. After he escapes, his coworker Hirosue finds him on the road and helps him out, so Matsuoka pretends he can't speak to avoid being found out. Hirosue and Matsuoka end up going on several dates with Matsuoka pretending to be a woman until Matsuoka realizes he's fallen for Hirosue. But it turns out that neither of their hearts were ready for the consequences when the truth was revealed. This is one of those rare stories where you could almost say it's too well written. The characters, their feelings, and their reactions to the situation are all so realistic and believable, and that's exactly what makes it painful and difficult to read. Do not go into this expecting a light and fluffy romance. Trigger warnings: attempted rape, lying/manipulation, rape.

Kanade is a popular office worker with a secret hobby--after work, he likes to dress up as a pretty girl. Meanwhile, his coworker Aki is known as a cold and unapproachable woman, but in her private life she dresses like an ambiguously gendered punk. The two meet in their off-work personas and hit it off, striking up a friendship, but when Kanade realizes Aki is actually his coworker, he realizes that this will mean the end of their budding friendship. Cute and interesting reversal of norms and expectations. No trigger warning.

Masaki is extremely shy and struggles to talk to others. He meets medical student, Takeru, who suggests they work together to help him overcome his shyness as part of a school project, and the two become friends. But when things start to get better for Masaki, he realizes Takeru will have no use for him and starts to pull away. No trigger warnings

Toma is an adult man who helps his grandpa with his work as landlord of a complex, and lately that has meant waking up his tenant, Kaoru, who never gets up in the morning without Toma's help. Kaoru eventually suggests a physical relationship to Toma, but Toma isn't interested in something so shallow as "fuck buddies" after having his heart broken in the past. Pretty good, but the ex just didn't make any sense as a character so he kind of took me out of the story. Trigger warnings: dubcon, homophobia, lying/manipulation, cheating.
