According to the 19.5 note, this is not a love story and has dub-con. May not read. Summary from Tappytoon: "13 years ago, Baek Yugeon and his brother were the sole survivors of a mysterious anomaly attack, leaving them “awakened.” While his brother obtained supernatural powers, Yugeon became a “guide,” a being who is able to keep such powers under control through physical touch. When the same anomaly appears again, Yugeon’s brother is left in critical condition with the only one who can save him being Woo Shinje, an S-class awakened and the commander of the hunting order, Erewhon. In exchange, Yugeon must serve as the guide to Shinje’s team, which consists of the withdrawn Joo Taein, the beastly Yoon Chan, and the sadistic Kwon Heesu. Though Shinje seems like the nicest on the team, he might prove to be the most dangerous when he states another condition: Yugeon must follow him into the pit where the very anomaly responsible for all his tragedies awaits…" Official on Tappytoon [mature].

((Waiting for updates)) Edit: it's just a one-shot promo for the novel: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/survival-rules-for-d-rank-guides/ Summary: "In a world where gates suddenly appeared, Espers were like a national power. South Korea's representative S-Class Esper, Cha Jaewoo, had a problem: after he gained his powers, he couldn't find a guide who had a high match rate with him. Thus, it was mandated that all citizens must take the guide test. "No way... I really hope this is not the case, but..." "Haa..." "...Is it Cha Jaewoo?" Haeyool took the test, thinking he might as well get it over with, and he set a record of an unprecedented 97.8% match rate with Cha Jaewoo! "So what? I'm a D-Class...!"" Not licensed in English. From what I can find, it's finished at 147 episodes in Korean (novel only? Unsure), so sad because even though it's a common premise, I never get tired of it. Neither of the scanslation groups that worked on it seem to have any intent to do more of the story.

[Complete] Rough translation, mediocre art, boring sex. Really no need to read it twice. Or at all. Summary: "Joo Eunhyeon, an unmatched S-class esper, is infamous for his numerous relationships and scandals. In an attempt to fix things, his superiors order for him to be transferred to another district. The new guide he's assigned turns out to be a man, Shin Jae-woo, who has a very high match rate with him." This literally only has one more chapter, frustrating that no one has translated it. Regardless, it's pretty much entirely a quick PWP Edit: after almost a year, the final chapter was translated. Not licensed in English.

By the end of season 1 it got incredibly possessive and toxic, but lots of truth gets dropped starting 36 and that makes it feel a lot less stressful. Summary: "Years after waves of a mysterious fog blanketed the globe, seeing people with unimaginable powers and scenes of deadly chaos has become an almost everyday occurrence. Though many of these gifted humans, known as espers, choose to do good with their new powers, prolonged use always results in corruption - a darkening of the mind and soul. The very safety of society relies on the help of those who can guide this darkened energy, and thus the powerful Esper-Guide Association was born. Yet for Han Yoonjae, though living as an undocumented esper proves to be both dangerous and illegal, joining the association simply isn’t an option. That is, until the mysterious and alluring Cha Minhyung shows up: tall, dark, and oh-so-determined to become Yoonjae’s own guide. The thing is, before he gives in to Minhyung’s increasingly tempting offers, Yoonjae needs to figure out why the other man is so insistent on guiding him, specifically…" Officials on Lezhin, officials are here.

Summary: "Choi Tae-hoon, who was diagnosed as a Guide at the age of five and didn't find his Espers until he was twenty-eight, meets them for the first time one day at the signing of top actor Ji Kwan-young, whom he went to at his brother's request....... "After all, Choi Tae-hoon, I have to let the words come out of your mouth first." The guide's face turned bright red in hindsight. It's embarrassing enough that everyone in the center knows that I'm in the arms of the same man even if I'm not, but I'm so embarrassed and ashamed......What, crying and hanging, body and head playing separately? Choi Tae-hoon shouted, pulling away from the man who held me last night. His voice cracked slightly, but he couldn't help but scream at the top of his lungs. "I'll never, never, never, never be gay!" "Be my guest." "We're doing this out of necessity, Mr. Ji, because you're the esper and I'm the guide!" "Yes." Ji Kwan-young smiled a gorgeous smile. Choi Tae-hoon glared at the man with the ripe red teeth and shameless grin. The back with his name on it burned." Not licensed in English.
