sadslime's manga / #Innocent seme(6)

Yuto gets rejected by a girl for not being manly enough, so he hits up a gym where he runs into Kitagawa, the most handsome man he's ever seen! He's sure he wants a body like that, so he signs up and ends up getting Kitagawa as his personal trainer. Meanwhile, Kitagawa is a power bottom who's used to playing around, and Yuto is exactly his type, so his sexual frustration is on the rise with each of Yuto's innocent reactions. But is it really just admiration Yuto feels for Kitagawa's hot bod? These two are adorable, I love how into Yuto Kitagawa is even when he is convinced it won't happen, and I love how innocent and sweet Yuto is. Very cute, no trigger warnings.

Kairi is an ordinary school boy until one day he comes home to find a demon in his room who announces that Kairi belongs to him due to a contract made in a previous life and pounces on him. Now Kairi has a jealous, high-maintenance (male) demon as his wife, and while it's not all bad, he can't help but worry that Raj is in love with his past life, not him. This one has interesting characters and a good setup but it fumbles a bit at the last moment to rush into a happy ending without really resolving the interesting conflicts that it had built up. Still a solid read with a sexy demon though. Trigger warning: statutory rape (probably).

Cavo is a monster living deep in the forest who terrifies everyone who lays eyes on him, so when he saves middle-aged traveler Liam and Liam doesn't flee, he's amazed. He finds himself very attached to Liam, the only person to ever show him any kindness, even though Liam is a slut who's constantly coming onto him, which makes the pure-hearted Cavo nervous and uncomfortable. But Liam isn't quite your average human, and with strange men chasing after him, his secrets may be forced to come to light. I absolutely love this story. It has beautiful art, and the characters are very well-written, though the plot didn't quite come together how I hoped at the end. Trigger warnings: attempted rape, dubcon (sleeping), statutory rape, child grooming.

Kichiro is a naive rich kid at his first job when he gets literally dragged into the problems of male prostitute, Natsuo. To pay him back for the trouble, Natsuo sleeps with Kichiro, and Kichiro falls head over heels. After that, he's determined to win Natsuo's heart bit by bit, and even though Natsuo feels like their worlds are too different, he can't help but find Kichiro endearing. I like Kichiro and his pure relationship with his grandma a lot. Trigger warnings: sex work, statutory rape.

Junya gets orders from his father, who runs a temp staffing firm, to go undercover at a client's rival company to create scandal for the president, Zen Asahina, who was known to sleep with men in his model days. Junya's blocked by the secretary at every turn but finally sees his chance to get close to Zen and immediately finds out that Zen is an idiot who hides it to save face for the company. The secretary says that now that Junya knows, he's her accomplice, so he starts working closely with Zen, who immediately falls head over heels for Junya, but how can Junya betray this pure-hearted man now? They're very cute, and I like Zen a lot. No trigger warnings.

Shouta went to an S&M bar without much interest, but when he ran into rope artist Misaki, it was love at first sight. Although Misaki is used to sex being a more casual thing, he responds well to Shouta's impromptu confession, and the two begin dating. But even though they love each other and Shouta is eager to learn more about S&M to please his masochistic lover, Misaki has a difficult past that he's avoiding that begins to rear its ugly head. I liked their healthy relationship, although they do get into some harder S&M. Trigger warnings: Bondage, S&M, strangulation, gang rape, grooming, blackmail, violence.
