Fraiser's manga / #Sex Work(10)

2020s. Gwaahh!! So good, but so bad

Man Tits & Sex Work. The boys are cute & slutty Cover says it all.

So, main guy pick up a handsome man thinking he's a cat. He misunderstands & then thinks he's a poor Omega prostituting to get by. Turns out he's a seme prostituting cuz he likes sex! Deep down on his heart, he lives this shallow lifestyle because of his wounded heart. This ensues their relationship as the MC tries heal this alpha with love. I don't like omegaverse. Luckily for me, it wasn't too heavily involved. The story could've gone fine without it. What interested me were the dynamics. We have a reverse situation where the seme is the prostitute, where he is portrayed as the desirable seducer, & where he is in the weaker position, situationally with his position in life, being homeless, & spiritually his heart is weak. MC is the supportive rock for the seme. I appreciate how he was pushing their relationship meaningfully forward. It was short & sweet. It's like Hurt / Comfort. That's literally what this is. Healed by the power of LOVE. Seme looks very beautiful to me. Both characters have nice, caring personalities.

Snarky, straight college boy, Haru, takes up sex work to make more dough. He meets his first client who is a kind, humble, salary man, Akiyama. Despite the callous attitude the mc gives him, he surprisingly starts to have affection for his client?! However, the story takes a dark twist when the MC recieves a phone call where (SPOILER/CW) Akiyama tries to tell Haru his final goodbye & last words before he commits suicide. This story really resonated with me. This theme always deeply settles in my heart: How do we live? When I was little, I never thought I'd relate to a message like this, but as an adult, unfortunately I do. Amidst all my bleak thoughts, this story feels like a companion who offers a kind comfort & small humble resolution. I really appreciate Nemui Asada for making this. She makes bold stories & is a hell of a creator. This doesn't offer any groundbreaking thoughts or deep explorations on suicide or depression, but it's relatable.

Damn, I knew I was going to like this. So this is obviously inspired by Killing Stalking. This comic is like all the pent up desire from fans to romantcize KS. It has tons of edginess like kidnapping, prostitution, murder, & adds tons, & tons of sex. MC is just Yoonbum except clever, apathetic, & capable. Seme doesntv even compare to Sangwoo. This guy is actually human & has a conscious. If anything, he reminds me more of Dooshik from "Pearl Boy" except more stoic & a little meaner. (In all honesty this half makes me think of killing stalking and half of pearl boy) As much as I'm comparing it to other stories, it's still doing it's own thing. So handsome man is murdering all these scumbags who control the red light district brothel business in a certain town at the behest of his female lover who used to be a prostitute. MC is a beat up prostitute who gets kidnapped by this man & makes everything his business after he falls for his kidnapper. Throughout the story, we see the main pair grow closer as we see the kidnapper grow more distant with his female lover as the reality of their relationship starts to clear for him. Romanticized toxicity. I love it in this comic. It feels like I can have my cake & eat it too. Seme is so romanticized. He's all, "I would kill for love", & Yoonbum 2.0 is kinda psycho but clever. He's crazy in love & when it comes down to it, he's serious about his man. I am patiently waiting for season 2. There better not be any fucking rape. There better not be any fucking rape. Update: Season 2 started! The seme is my boyfriend, okay! Love him. I want to see an evil power couple please! 060623: waiting for updates. Nahhhh I'm done. Uke gets raped & seme joins a gang. It's just like pearl boy now.

Read a long time ago (and all this author's work). Marking for consistency. ............. What can I say? It's more shameless smut I read..

Read this a long time ago. Marking for consistency.

Interacted with this before. Not my taste.

This one was soooo GOOD. This depicts a really positive relationship. The glasses uke is traumatized because his previous partners left him because he's bad at sex! So, he decides he's going to learn how to become the best at sex and make his ex eat his words. He hires a sex worker who shows him how to loosen up--through tenderness, trust, and comfort. SUPER NICE!!

Read this before That was something... That was like half good half bad.. Like this author has a cute art style, but is kinda sadistic? (Your cute art does not fool me, ma'am. You CRAZY!) Poor sweet boy just keeps getting used & is miserable. It's like hurt / comfort but mostly angst. & You can tell author liked the assault scenes, they went on way longer than necessary. I'm not trying to shame if that's what she's into (we're all adults and this is fiction), but I was just surprised it was THIS kind of manga. But from a standpoint where I'm actually trying to enjoy the story, the context for them is really SAD & CREEPY. Again, I can totally understand if the author just wanted to draw the cute uke in BDSM scenes (because I liked them too) but story was so sad. One half of my brain was fighting the other while reading those.. Here's what I liked: Cute uke character, the way he's drawn, his sweet and gentle personality, I love the comforting relationship with "cream soda" guy. He has a prickly personality but is actually kind and caring towards him and really into the uke. I liked the uke & the BDSM play, but again, the context of what was actually going on in the story was really sad and creepy. What I don't like: all the creepy rape s*** at the expense of the uke. Yeah, "misery smut", as i like to call it, is not my taste. Not shaming anyone else into it, it's just not my cup of tea and is quite upsetting to read, so rather than being adventurous like before, I'd like to stay clear from it from now on. But I signed up for this I knew what I was getting into. I read this before on mrm. But I read it because the story is compelling because I really do bond with the UK character and I just want to see him be happy with cream soda guy. Also the way he's drawn is so pretty. *sweat* Thank God this is over. I liked it but also concerned for characters. Uke is toooo cute & seductive!!!
