ArtemisFowl's manga / #meh(88)

Two former child actors reunite, one very successful and the other laden in obscurity after an accident blurred his memories and trauma caused him to retire. The former can read minds, we later learn within the manga, except for the actor whose childhood is blurred by the traumatic experience at the set. They end up sleeping together -- it's "good practice for the movie we're in" according to the first, the flimsiest of justifications, and end up in a real relationship. There are many details of the latter's past that aren't clear, including his shady relationship with a former idol/colleague/neighborhood boy turned model. Does he have something to do with the accident? And can they find out before it's too late -- this time? ~Chapter 26.1

Watch out for this one...*heart heart heart* Main character is a bodyguard, decides to sub in for his friends, gets roped into asking the charge (who's a superstar singer) to sign an album for his sister, hears demeaning comments made by this guy and his crew in English (which they don't think he understands), only for him to reply in perfect English at the awkward expense of that crew. And that, my friends, is where chapter 1 ends. Edit: They could have written Eddie's reaction with so much more nuance, it's a travesty of a good plot arc. And how does this guy not know that Eddie (his client) has a stalker??? That's part of the job description, to know what the situation for the client is, why they have a bodyguard if they are specifically asking for a bodyguard in the first place. Not all blasé, like this comic makes the job duties of a bodyguard seem. ~Chapter 4

These two hate each other for valid reasons -- the black haired guy got the redhead a bad grade because the redhead didn't do his part of the project, and the redhead tried to work with the black haired guy on a side project afterwards without being rude to him, only for the black haired guy to talk smack as a 'precautionary measure.' Thus mutual hatred ensues. How they will ever get together in a realistic manner is a wonder to me. It's kind of going into 'stupid' territory at this point...but the end of the 9th chapter was pretty funny. Dat face though. ~ Chapter 10

Uke's got it all but has never been held...He's alone for his birthday and, frustrated with his status as a never-done-it-with-anyone 29-something-year-old, decides to go (for the first time in his life) to a gay bar. There he meets college student and one-night-stand patron Rou, who decides to have sex with him despite his obvious inexperience. There in a discreet part of the club they have sex, and Rou is interested in who this 'pure' Yoshino guy is and the mysteries he holds... Update: hot capable uke ends up with an idiot who can't figure out what he wants ~Chapter 5.5

A vampire and a werewolf sleep together in a town and world that holds vampire-werewolf relations and rivalries out in the open. When Chess sees #hotguy out at the werewolf moonparty (whatever that is, ha ha) sitting next to him and chatting with him, he becomes attracted. All of a sudden he falls into bed with this man named Raoul (or so he says). He wakes up the next day, leaves to do something (writing Raoul a note), and comes back to find the man gone from his house. A week later the man finds Chess, only for Chess to have realized since then that he, a werewolf, slept with a man named RAWIN, a vampire rival of his werewolf clan, who has come to take a liking to Chess. Chess tries to stay away from him but finds he can't. What will happen to the two of them? ~Chapter 8

Farm-boy Lee moved to Australia for a gap year from school, both in order to learn English and pay his parents and for his education. He's about to end a peaceful year peacefully as employee of the year when his supervisor tells him there's a party, where the donor of the farm he works at is hosting, along with the son. The day of the party the supervisor calls in sick, telling Lee he has to secure the funds for next year before the night's end and sends him on his way. The naive Lee tries to make his way towards the president of the farm, only to be pushed out by the crowd swarming around the president. He makes his way upstairs where the party venue is less crowded, to hear a noise coming into the hallway from a room along a corridor. He stops to look inside, seeing a very handsome man playing a beautiful song. Slightly drunk, he comes inside and they have an exchange, where the handsome piano player very quickly makes a move on Lee. They definitely have sex, as seen in the first part of the chapter, but what will become of them in this exchange? ~ Chapter 1

Leo has a lucky day before getting attacked and almost dying at a convenience store. Lucky (?) for him, he gets picked up by super hottie and popular actor Owen, who takes the poor dude back to his place. He wakes up, only to find that the actor is actually a vampire who he made an unwitting contract with. ~Chapter 3

Finally!!!! This is exactly what I've been looking for. All the sex and the fluff and the heat...woot woot woot, I'm on board. Also: points for somehow getting the mood of this planet spot on. ~ Chapter 2

I don’t love or hate the dynamics of their relationship. It’s basic, but I still want to follow it. Also I got cockblocked at chapter 4. Update: Just kidding, this is basic as friiiiick
