sadslime's manga / #Dancer(6)

Yoru is a male prostitute formerly known as a famous dancer, until it came out he wasn't a "hybrid" person, as advertised. Now he's frequently requested for his good looks, until one day "hybrid" Amran buys him outright and takes him to his house. Although Yoru frequently rejects Amran and tries to get away, Amran patiently wears him down, sleeping with him often despite Yoru's protests. But why is Amran so insistent that Yoru is the one for him. The characters are very beautiful, but I didn't like Amran as a character for leaving Yoru in the dark. Trigger warnings: sex work, rape, bestiality.

Pole dancers argue, fall in love.

Heir to a wealthy family works as a servant to see his childhood friend working as an erotic dancer.

Masahi is bummed out from a bad breakup when his female friends take him to a male strip club to cheer him up and he sees Kaoru for the first time, a male stripper dripping with such sensuality, Masahi can't take his eyes off him. After becoming Kaoru's fan, Kaoru eventually asks him out for drinks and things progress to something more, but Masahi starts to worry that Kaoru only sees him as one of many sex friends. After they straighten that out, the relationship continues as they deal with a new hire at the strip club who gets too touchy-feely and has a thing against (formerly) straight guys dating gay men. Trigger warnings: outdoor sex, attempted rape.

Kuroba is a former boxer who gets a job at a strip club where he meets their #1 dancer, Kaede. Though Kaede says he's dating one of the other dancers, Kuroba finds him entrancing, and he sees how Kaede struggles with the more extreme aspects of the stripping and pseudo sex demanded of him in his job. Kuroba offers to help as a "plant" in the shows with the pseudo sex, and Kaede agrees, forcing him to acknowledge that he sees Kuroba differently from other men, even as he continues to try to push Kuroba away. A well-written story that gets into aspects of overcoming trauma and pushing forward in life. ️Trigger warnings: violence, mention of stalker, mention of gangrape.

Tsuho is a gay congressman pining after his childhood friend and secretary until one day he goes to an S&M club and meets Kyo, a paid Dom who loves dancing and they really hit it off. But just when they’re ready to take it to the next level, scandal rocks Tsuho’s life and their relationship. It’s a good story with some, though not a ton, of S&M, but I felt like the two unrequited loves they were getting over needed more time for the audience to care about them. Trigger warnings: S&M, forced outing.
