crispicheva's manga / #multiple stories(46)

storyline 1: a young intern at a company works part-time as a prostitute and ends up being hired by his superior at work, who doesn’t know it’s him because he’s blindfolded throughout the entire thing. the superior is also ridden with like, religious guilt, so sex is treated more like exposure therapy than actual sex for a while, until lover boy falls for him and decides to show him a new side of sexuality. storyline 2: a college student lends his pen to another one from a different year and department, then uses that pen as an excuse to frequently meet him at his lab. turns out, lab guy had a long-lived crush on his sister’s husband, and pen guy has to convince him to let it go and fall in love with him instead. also, anemia and like 9 stepfathers (damn). review: not bad tbh. the art is super cute, although i think the author suffers a bit from same-face-syndrome. it’s interesting how two wildly different stories such as these ended up in the same volume.

storylines: a guy who gets saved from the cult he was in by a priest; a man who picks up a flower who gets turned into a human review: i can tell this author is great at Storytelling even if the stories themselves are very short (really love how he builds his narratives)

storyline: shingo is the school’s cupid, as everyone asks for help knowing more about their crushes and he helps them in exchange for food and other small things. then someone asks him about ao, a cold and unapproachable senpai who shingo later discovers has a scar on his forehead that he covers up with his hair and a serious trauma involving thunder. shingo then decides i he doesn’t want to share any of this with anyone else (there’s also another age gap story that might be happening in the same universe but i don’t think it’s confirmed) review: pretty cute, and shingo and ao’s dynamic is lovely
