muse ✨'s manga / #explicit af(12)

Years after Erwin leaves him, Levi finds them neighbors and they begin an affair.

A series of PWPs mostly involving high school and college students. The most developed is a boy with a mole on his cheek and the best friend who teases it's his "yes" button. There's also teacher/student (I skipped it) and stepbrothers in love.

When the sensei he likes ignores him, Yajima - who only likes older guys - picks up Kasumi, who is three years younger and not his type. But neither of them can ignore their physical compatibility, so they continue the relationship and eventually fall into the most sincere, endearing love! Never would I have thought a story with this much sex would be so romantic. The poses, the facial expressions, their words - it was such a nice change to find a story where both people were invested in their intimacy and the relationship. Ten stars.

I'm giving this five stars because I've never seen a manga where people talk this dirty and embrace their kinkier sides. A host and the writer that stalked him are now an item and navigate different sex drives. The final chapter is a one shot: an illustrator slash programmer with a fetish for wearing women's underwear falls for a coworker but fears he won't be able to accept his hobby. Lucky for him, it's not an issue.

A promising start. Team switch high school boyfriends (although we only hear about it) and one of their older brothers and his own love affair. They had sex all the time which is par for the course, but the artist couldn’t decide what she wanted the characters to look like, and they changed greatly throughout the story. The original couple was fairly similar in build, but by the end there was an extreme size difference. One of their older brothers had his own love affair. But no one really seemed to like anyone else. Both of the brothers were sadistic. The whole thing turned me off

Surprisingly sweet with character development and a happy ending! Yuzuru is known as the ghost senpai because he never speaks to anyone. When he drops his pencil case, it's picked up by Kyoya, a popular and arrogant junior who coerces Yuzuru into a sex-friends relationship. What begins as coercion becomes genuine, but as Kyoya is beginning to open up to him, Yuzuru makes his own friends for the first time and is approaching his graduation. Explicit; I scrolled past those parts. This would've been just as effective without it. The twist: Kyoya used to move a lot as a child and lost the friends he made quickly. When new friends turned on him at a previous school, he resolved to put on fake airs and never let anyone close to him. He'd noticed Yuzuru, who reminded him of his past self and made him realize he'd become the type of person he despised. He hadn't intended their relationship to last, but hadn't ended things because Yuzuru kept coming to him.

A DJ about the actor and his stunt man having sex after being apart for three weeks. There's a nice switching extra that hasn't been translated yet but that I mucked through with my friend Google Translate.

An ex cop who shot his partner comes back to the special task force to help track down a serial killer, and is partnered with a loose, shady detective who is actually a double agent for the yakuza. If you're looking for a fluffy, happy romance, this isn't it. They fall for each other, but Kairi sleeps around for information and it doesn't look like he's going to stop. But they had a cool and open relationship, and they really seemed into each other! I'm a little confused on the case details.

AU set in L.A. in which Erwin is an actor and takes in Levi, who comes from the streets. Levi is always prepared for Erwin to leave him, and even tries to break up with him via letter on (I think?) their wedding day. Erwin finds him; presumably they are still together. Really explicit. Honestly it would've been just as nice without all of that, but I still like this.

Three in one: A human falls in love with his next-door neighbor, who is a beast person. They get together really quickly and are very passionate. Second story is a quick one shot. A guy who can’t throw anything away has sex with a plant that comes to life for the night and finds the nerve to dump his trash boyfriend. The third story was the sweetest. Childhood friends get into a relationship that seems extremely promising. The third story did some thing I haven’t seen him in a before, and it made me cry. The character who had always identified as straight until he got into the relationship with his boyfriend rejected the śtraight label and asked not to be called that anymore. I see straight and normal used to apply to anyone who is not gay in manga frequently, and I didn’t realize until this morning how much that had been bothering me. I don’t think it’s done with any sort of malice but it is anti-bi. I really appreciated this work.
