sadslime's manga / #Restaurant(13)

Ch.1-3 - Kawasaki is overworked at the office, so on a whim, he books a maid escort service only to find it's a man who arrives. But after giving Nao a shot, he's hooked and starts to want even more. Trigger warning: sex work. Ch.4-6 - Italian chef Atsushi is shocked when his young temp worker, Eita, confesses to him, and though he tries to reject him, Eita is just too persistent! But even though Atsushi starts to return Eita's feelings, how can he accept Eita's love if it risks ruining his future? I like this second couple a lot, and I like that Atsushi's worries are legitimate and not your typical "but he could be normal and have a family!" stuff you often see in mangas. No trigger warnings.

After finding his longtime girlfriend cheating on him, Kashiwagi goes to drink his troubles away at his favorite pub. However, the next morning he wakes up in bed with server Izumi, who is only 18. Izumi clears up the misunderstanding, but confesses to Kashiwagi and though Kashiwagi isn't in love, Izumi convinces him to give him a chance to win his heart. I love Izumi's style, wearing the weird rabbit shirt to meet the rabbit is the best XD Trigger warning: cheating

Ch1-14.6 - Otonagokoro -When businessman Saki passes out on the street one day, he's saved by the very sweet and innocent college student Shinomiya Jun who seems to know him from somewhere, and they soon fall in love. Although Saki is much older, it begins a very cute and heartwarming relationship. They're honestly one of my favorite couples, as long as you don't mind the age gap. No trigger warnings. Ch.15-16 - Kiss, Kiss, Kiss - High schooler Gamon sees his classmate Taki sleeping one day and impulsively kisses him, but Taki doesn't really mind. Then, Taki wants to kiss Gamon again to be sure how he really feels, but Gamon isn't sure he's ready! Trigger warning: noncon(sleep kiss). Ch.17 - Dull Love - High schoolers Sakura and Chikage have become jerk off buddies since they both wound up single again, but lately Chikage has been pushing the limits of their physical intimacy. When Sakura tries to clarify things between them, it somehow gets even more confusing. Trigger warning: mild dubcon. Ch.18 - Hiiragi-senpai's Love Story - When high schooler Mori impulsively compliments his upperclassman Hiiragi, it causes Hiiragi to fall head over heels, chasing after him every day. But does Mori really dislike it as much as he says he does? No trigger warnings. Ch.19 - W Pure - High schooler Kirishima Kouki is feared by all for his delinquent-like looks, except the younger baseball player, Kasuga, a well liked and good natured guy who sees Kirishima's kindness. But when they get closer and people start to talk badly about Kasuga, Kirishima tries to pull away. My favorite of the side stories. No trigger warnings.

Unfortunately, while drowning his sorrows with alcohol, Naoto's younger brother Haruto appears, and Akira drunkenly half-assaults him. However, Haruto comes to realize he likes Akira after all, and the two begin a relationship with Akira still unsure if and when to tell him about his longtime crush on Naoto. Trigger warnings: drunk sex, noncon, statutory rape(?)

Isa is a high school teacher troubled by a confession from his student Homura who also happens to be the younger brother of his one and only ex-girlfriend, who he dated until he realized he was gay. He's sure Homura knows and is just trying to tease him, but it turns out Homura's repeated invitations to "play" with him are just the only way he knows how to ask for Isa's affection. Not my favorite couple, but it's fine for what it is. Also includes a oneshot of Yuuji and Manabe, childhood friends who were reunited as a ramen deliveryboy and a policeman, but Yuuji worries that his pure-hearted friend will be disappointed when he realizes he's not the hero Manabe thought he was anymore. Trigger warning: dubcon, statutory rape(?)

Ao is a rabbit beastman who picked up a lonely looking tiger child, Asuka, while in middle school and ended up basically adopting Asuka and his mother into his family. But Asuka and his mother were on the run after the murder of his yakuza father, and when things settled down, they returned to their hometown, and Ao left the cute tiger boy with a promise they would one day be family. Years later, a fully grown up Asuka has returned to make good on that promise, though Ao thought it was about brotherhood, Asuka wants it to be about marriage. But Asuka's yakuza lifestyle may not mesh easily with Ao and his happy family restaurant, and he worries that Asuka will resort to violence. The story was fine, and I liked Ao's lop-eared bunny character design. Trigger warning: violence.
