sadslime's manga / #university(52)

Aoi and Ryouta are childhood friends who do everything together, so it only seemed natural to live together when they started college. But when Ryouta finds Aoi sleeping in a compromising position one night he touches Aoi's lips, and when Aoi wakes up and demands to know why, Ryouta says he couldn't control himself because he likes Aoi! Aoi never thought about their relationship that way, but their gay neighbors are here to help them figure all this out. Very cute and sweet. Trigger warnings: forced outing, somnophilia (in a relationship).

Dayo is an out of work manga artist who watches his favorite weatherman every day. Only that weatherman is actually his live-in boyfriend who totally financially supports him. Only problem is, Dayo doesn’t realize they’re dating and thinks it’s a slave contract. I honestly don’t like either of the main characters that much, so this one isn’t really for me. Trigger warning: mild bondage, threat of confinement.

University student Kohaku suddenly loses his job and place to live, but he's immediately taken in by Ten, his sister's brother-in-law. Kohaku thinks he has it made, until he realizes that he apparently promised to marry Ten when they first met many years ago, and Ten plans to hold him to it! Very coercive, not really my thing. Trigger warning: rape

Ch.1-2, 6.5 - 5 Seconds - Hayato has special eyes that have been passed down in his family. For him, this means that when he meets eyes with someone for five seconds he can copy their "sensuality," so he uses his friends to help him jerk off. The one person he won't use is his childhood friend, Tsukasa, who he's tried to avoid since he realized his ability, but Tsukasa is too sharp not to notice, and when Hayato accidentally copies some eyes he shouldn't have and goes into heat, only Tsukasa can help him. A kind of random and unexpected setup, but I liked the characters well enough. Trigger warning: dubcon(heat). Ch.3 - The Way to Nurture Love - Keiichirou is a normal working man who got dragged to a gay bar and told to pick his type, so he randomly pointed to a worker, but when they turned around he saw it was actually his long lost twin brother, Yuuichirou. Yuu seems to be living life as a woman now, and Kei isn't sure he approves, but he can't help but worry, so he invites Yuu to live with him. But the longer they live together, the more the feelings from their past that forced Yuu to leave seem to reemerge. I liked it, but it is an incest story, so don't read if that's not your thing. Note: I don't think Yuu identifies as a woman, so if you're looking for trans characters, he won't really fit the bill. Trigger warnings: incest, transphobia(?). Ch.4 - Too - An unnamed protagonist (Nameless-kun) lives an ordinary college life, except for the fact that he has a stalker following him every day, buying and wearing all the same clothes as him, and putting not-so-secret cameras in his apartment, which is especially weird since he's a nobody and his stalker, Kudou, is quite popular. Nameless-kun doesn't see it as causing any harm though, so he lets it go until one day Kudou seems to stop dressing like him, causing Nameless-kun to wonder if his affections have changed, and that's when he realizes just how much he's been watching Kudou in turn. I'm not really into stalker romances, but this one was fine for what it was. Trigger warning: stalking. Ch.5 - Itai no, Itai no - Rei spends every day at high school breaking up fights between his childhood friends, Takuma, and Shinobu, who are at each other's throats over everything but insist on spending time together because of Rei. But Rei knows that secretly, the two are in a physical relationship fueled by their shared masochism. Rei has trauma to do with pain that has caused him to develop a masochistic streak too, so he wants in on this. Not my thing. Trigger warnings: masochism, suicide, voyuerism, violence, violent sex. Ch.6 - Mushuusei no Ohisama - Aki and Asahi were friends in high school when Asahi said he'd become the best actor ever and Aki promised to be the one to shoot it on film. Now, years later, Asahi seems to have given up on his dream and only works in the porn industry, but Aki is still determined to capture the best of him. But when they fight, Aki decides to rape Asahi on camera to show him all the faces he hasn't seen yet. Or something. I wasn't really paying attention because I don't like rape stories. Trigger warnings: sex work, rape.

A selection of short stories, almost all shounen ai (Ch.2 depicts a sex scene), about lovers with a personality gap. Ch.1 - Only I Know Chief Iwatsugi! - Shimizu is always getting scolded by his demon boss Iwatsuji at work, but he doesn't mind because secretly he and his boss are dating, and at home Iwatsuji is a total cutie.

Ch.3 - Non-stop Zaizen-kun - Poor student Hida finds an expensive wallet in his shoe box that the other students assume he stole from rich classmate Zaizen. But it turns out that Zaizen is in love with Hida and this was his weird way of giving him a matching wallet. No trigger warnings. Ch.4 - The Right Way to Shorten Our Distance - Actor Kashiwara doesn't understand why his popular and affable manager, Tsubaki, is so kind to everyone but so distant with him! But when he tries to shorten the distance, he learns that Tsubaki is a way bigger fan than he thought. No trigger warnings. Ch.5 - Akaoni-kun's Rice Ball - Katori is a salaryman who ends up with no choice but to buy lunch from a nearby restaurant with a terrifying chef, Akaoni. But after he tries the food he's hooked, and when he comes back, he finds out that Akaoni is anything but scary underneath it all. No trigger warnings. Ch.6 - It's Your Fault for Being so Suggestive! - Chitose noticed that his childhood friend Nao has a crush on him recently, so he's been teasing him with it while waiting for the right moment to confess. But Nao has enough of it and turns the tables on him. No trigger warnings. Ch.7 - About a Guy Called "Matsubara" - Suzuki is a serious loner-type student, and popular student Matsubara always seems to be bothering him about something. But really the two are dating, and Matsubara is a little bit of a yandere. Trigger warning: obsessive behavior. Ch.8 - Tell Me About Your Fingers - Beauty school stuent Souta has a huge hand fetish, and right now he's into the cool loner Kodomori's hands. But when Kodomori finds out about it and calls him creepy, Souta is mortified, only to find Kodomori using it to sadistically tease him later. No trigger warnings.

Taeyoung has a crush on his roomate and sunbae, Junghoon, and he's terrified he'll get caught jerking off to the thought of Junghoon at night. When the two get drunk, Junghoon offers to help him get off and Taeyoung thinks maybe he has a chance, only to get his hopes dashed when he overhears Junghoon saying he already likes someone the next day. But what are Junghoon's thoughts about all this? Short and sweet smut with full color. Trigger warning: secondhand embarrassment (caught masturbating).

A sequel to Count 0, Agatsuma and Misono are now an established couple. Misono is in college while Agatsuma has recently passed the police exam, but Misono worries that his ability will put too much pressure on him in this situation. Through all this, Agatsuma meets Misono's teacher and finds he's yet another person with a rare ability. I was happy to see more Agatsuma and Misono, but the teacher subplot and the information about abilities didn't really answer any questions so it ended up just kind of being in the way. Trigger warning: violence.

Shinonome Nagi is a college student who secretly loves reading erotic novels, and one day he meets his favorite erotic novelist, Shidou Tatsuo! When Shindou teases him saying Nagi is a kid who would come from a kiss, Nagi refuses, so Shidou ends up making good on the offer. After that, Shidou suggests Nagi keep coming around to help give him inspiration for his newest novel, and Nagi agrees. Trigger warnings: dubcon, train groper, somnophilia.

When he finds out Ren is a fellow student at his university by chance, Ren begs him to become his photographer so he can take better photos. But can Shuichi take photos and also keep it in his pants (no). Mostly porn with minimal plot. Trigger warning: dubcon.
