sadslime's manga / #Heterosexual romance(117)

Ch.1-3 - Komaki and Tasuku are a perfectly happy married couple who met as if by fate! The only problem is, they both have secrets they're desperately hiding. Tasuku doesn't want Komaki to find out he used to be a host, and Komaki doesn't want Tasuku to realize she was actually his stalker for many years prior to their first real "meeting." So how will he react when the truth inevitably comes out? A quick comedy romance that's a fun read. Trigger warning: stalking. Ch.4 - The story of Tasuku's former coworker, the host Kitsubei and his longtime girlfriend, Yui. Kitsubei starts to think he wants to really invest in this relationship and get married, but he can't help but worry that Yui doesn't even seem to care he meets with other women! No trigger warnings (I think, I didn't read it that closely). Ch.5 - After Izuma got drunk with her boss Takamine and woke up in his bed, she worried something had happened, but he coldly told her he was "almost a virgin," meaning he hadn't had sex in a long time. Izuma is worried her boss now thinks she's loose, but meanwhile, he's getting transferred and her chances to clear up this misunderstanding may be slipping away. No trigger warnings.

In a world where all children inherit powers by the age of 8, Fumi is an adopted child whose powers never manifested, marking her as a "cursed child." Her adoptive family abuses her until the wealthy and powerful Togo with the power of clairvoyance comes to request her as his wife. Though he seems kind at first, he quickly turns cold, but Fumi would rather stay with him than her nasty family, and he may have his good points. Not impressed with the lack of communication, but otherwise seems solid. Trigger warning: abuse

Ami has always been in love with her aloof childhood friend, Mioto(Mimi), and though she's not secretive about it, things have stayed fairly platonic between them. But when she becomes an adult, she learns that due to her familial ties to a mermaid, she's cursed so that she has to hear the one she loves say that he loves her once a week or she will die. After that she and Mimi move in together and he fulfills the requirement as they grow closer, but even though they're living a happy couple's life, Mimi still can't bring himself to totally accept her love since he feels like she could do better. Honestly, very little conflict, mostly just two idiots in love. No trigger warnings.

Nene is an orphan living at the church and working selling matches until the priest sends her to work at the local manor, where she meets the lord and his nephew, Hal. Nene and Hal fall in love, but meanwhile, the priest who raised her is running a sex trafficking/arson ring using the girls he raised, and he thinks it's time to get Nene into it. Not really my thing. Trigger warnings: sex trafficking, arson, attempted rape, statutory rape, child abuse.

When Ray's family loses everything, her brother takes her to the manor of a strange nobleman named Clodan who seems to owe her family a favor, and Clodan takes them in no questions asked. As it turns out, Clodan only has one interest, and that's Ray, whom he quickly has falling head over heels for him. But what Ray doesn't know is that Clodan is under a curse that turns the inhabitants of the manor to monsters and causes Clodan to go crazy with lust, especially during the full moon. But he's not about to let her escape now. This is essentially Beauty and the Beast if it were rated X and lowkey horror. Not my favorite, and I feel quite bad for Ray. Trigger warnings: abusive relationship, horror, rape, attempted forced abortion, attempted suicide.

Lala is a mage who raised a genius child named Alistair for several years before turning herself to stone to survive being eaten by a dragon. Now twenty years in the future, she finds that Alistair has made quite a name for himself, but he's hardly interested in the fame and fortune he's accrued; the only thing he wants is her. This one caught my interest despite being a little cliche. I do wish Alistair could chill a little, but hey, yandere is right there in the title. Trigger warning: child abuse, mention of somnophilia.

Shiho is an unwanted, adopted child who ends up at a mixer full of older men due to her sister. There, she runs into Yukito, a handsome man 12 years her senior who ends up taking her to a hotel where they spend the night together, and he impulsively proposes the next morning. Shiho says yes, and then finds out he's actually the president of the company where she works. The two continue with the marriage, even as Shiho struggles to overcome the abuse of her past and learn to let herself be loved. ️Trigger warnings: drunk sex, child abuse.

Chise has been engaged since she was a child, but after the death of her parents, her jerk fiance says since she's not taking over the company, he no longer needs her, and dumps her in public. That's when her ex-fiance's brother, Iori, swoops in and says he'll take her. Iori then asks Chise to help him get revenge on his brother by showing off how great they are together. But Chise quickly starts to want more from the relationship, while Iori is afraid to get too close. Really not a standout cast, just smut. Trigger warnings: drunk intimacy, attempted rape, noncon(sleeping)

Yuika is a career woman with a demon boss, Kyo, and a crush on her kind coworker who happens to be Kyo's friend. But when she gets drunk and confused at a mixer one night, she ends up sleeping with Kyo by accident. After that, she asks Kyo to help set her up with her friend, but now that the two of them have shared one night, they keep wanting to go back for more. The story was fine, and Yuika had more personality than a lot of FLs. Stopped reading at Ch.6. Trigger warnings: drunk intimacy/sex, blackmail, noncon.

Elsa doesn't mind, so she just keeps doing her thing while gradually and unintentionally winning Julius over. No trigger warnings.
