sadslime's manga / #Prostitute(5)

Ch.1-5 - An omega girl gets raped by an alpha as a young girl and thinks she's in love (as does the story, but I think that's BS). As an older woman and oiran (Japanese prostitute), she finally meets him again. Trigger warnings: rape, sex trafficking. Ch.6-9 - A tough girl omega and wimpy boy alpha are childhood friends who separate after her first heat and are finally reunited as adults. No trigger warnings. Ch.10-11 - In an animal omegaverse world, alphas are expected to have many wives so they can bear a lot of children, and a goat beta girl can't admit she loves her cat alpha childhood friend because she wants him all to herself. No trigger warnings, except secondhand embarrassment.

Ch.1-4 - Konatsu is an independent omega who ends up reuniting with her childhood friend, Prime Minister Konatsu. Though she feels their statuses are too different for them to be together, he's certain they're meant to be. Trigger warnings: sex work, discrimination. Ch.5-9 - Kayama is a "betafied" omega who releases almost no pheromones, but when two alphas see her in heat, they decide to attack her anyway. She's saved by a janitor but then she loses her jobs and never gets to see him again. Until years later, her savior reappears at the bar she works at looking like a whole new man! Trigger warnings: discrimination, attempted rape. Ch.9-11 - Rune lives in a dystopian future where alphas and omegas are raised completely separately and partners and family size are decided by AI, but one day she wanders into the alpha side of the school on accident. She's saved by alpha Horo and falls in love at first sight, but there's almost no chance they'll ever meet again, until by chance they're paired together on the day of their graduation. Trigger warning: sexual harassment.

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.

Akira(omega) is kidnapped and sold for his family's extraordinary reproductive abilities to Reiji(alpha), a second son who needs to bear the family heir so he can be free to pursue photography. But after a rough life on the streets, Akira finds remarkable comfort and safety living with Reiji that he doesn't want to give up, while Reiji wants to keep his distance but can't help but be amazed by Akira's openness and kindness. Honestly, it's all very cliche and it could have easily stopped at episode 10, but it's fine for what it is. Trigger warnings: sex work, sex trafficking, attempted rape.

Esora is an unwanted child being passed from family to family until she ends up with no place to go and nothing to eat but leftovers she found at a shrine. She falls asleep there and wakes up in another world where she's sold as a human slave to Yahiro, a masked (yokai?) brothel owner who encourages the feisty Esora to take control of her own future by becoming the best courtesan in his brothel who can pick and choose who she sleeps with. While Esora is initially resistant, as time passes she begins to see the many sides to the people around her and their ways of life, and she comes to want to know more about Yahiro and his hidden face. He promises to show her his face when she becomes the top courtesan, but that isn't the only secret Yahiro is keeping as he also seems to have known Esora's mother. An interesting premise with a nuanced look at courtesan life and sex work. So far, I like it a lot. Trigger warnings: child neglect, child trafficking, sex work.
