sadslime's manga / #Middle-aged man(4)

Maya is in love with Kengo, but Kengo is having none of it! The older cafe owner saved university student Maya from some shady dudes and it was love at first sight for Maya, but Kengo's not looking to settle down and Maya's love seems troublesome. But after they sleep together with a strict one night stand understanding, Kengo starts to wonder if he made the right choice. Some of the dialogue was just slightly off enough that I had no idea what they meant. Still, I liked the realistic seeming struggles they both went through, and it's fun to see a big, tough bottom. No trigger warnings.

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.

Hinata is just an ordinary man, except for the fact he's living with a demon.

But when Hinata's soul still stubbornly clung to life, Yubel became curious and wanted to know why Hinata so desperately wanted to live when he seemed to have little to live for. Trigger warnings: violence, rape.
