muse ✨'s manga / #stalker(9)

A man becomes obsessed with a former classmate he used to bully and stalks him for two years. Not a relationship you should emulate, but it makes for great fiction.

The continuing story of Asa and Yoru.

Short oneshot about a boy who sleeps with all of his childhood friend's stalkers.

When his current lover won't hold his hand during an onsen trip, Leo picks up another guy at the resort. To his shock, they work together. After a round of casual and often public sex, he uses Ryota as a fake boyfriend to ward off a persistent stalker who has gotten hold of his new workplace. But when his feelings start to develop for Ryota, Leo puts distance between them the same way he's done with his past lovers, only to find himself miserable. This is super satisfying.

A flirty kindergarten teacher harbors not-at-all-secret feelings for his coworker, who gets entangled in his family's absurdities (eg. stalker father, creepy twin brother) and somehow, we're supposed to care about their "connection." I like this author, and I love the scanlation team that picked this up (Exiled Rebels), and maybe it's because MDZS has ruined me for all love stories for the rest of my life, but this did nothing for me.

Neighbors who have been in a relationship for a while finally hook up. A host falls for the writer stalking him.

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.
