A guy learns that a vampire is his friend when he turns him into a vampire's food/bond/person. The complexities of the vampire world unfold when the friend's estranged vampire father brings them into the family business. Chapter --

Basically a philosophically minded, tension filled downward, depressing spiral. We already know the ending is going to be depressing *cries to self in an unoccupied corner of the internet* ...why did I do this to myself

Interesting...usually the trope involves the uke being in debt/having no money and the seme supporting him, rather than the other way around. I really like that the manga knows and highlights the fact that the seme is pretty crappy (specifically in terms of how he treated his girlfriend, though his girlfriend was also in the wrong for cheating).

A pro gamer ends up having his title and character (with all of its stats) stripped from him when he gets forced out of the gaming company he works for (as a video game player), and ends up working for a internet cafe. His skills are still sharp, and he ends up creating a character in the same video game system named 'Lord Grim,' who basically creates a typhoon through the video game world, as this apparent 'newbie,' ends up destroying many of the enshrined rituals surrounding seniority and gaming... ~Chapter 64.1

Tutor who would have made it big in a fantasy world pisses off the wrong person and goes to the only person who will hire him: a duke whose son has driven off all the tutors (Von Trapp much?). This kid is a fairly bright student but has trouble warming up to the tutor, who is making it his mission to get the kid to love him while fighting off hot fantasies of him with the duke (who seems like a douchebag, but, whatever). ~Chapter 17

Baek Chansol has always been alone. He lives at an orphanage, where he considers the others there as family, but is ostracized by his peers at school. Enter another ostracized kid, Park Hansoo. He spends the first couple months by the desk of this kid, but only starts having a relationship with him when their paired together for a project. Park Hansoo and Baek Chansol, after a long time, actually become friends. They hang out together. They spend time outside of school together. They genuinely get along, despite Hansoo's strange and charismatic personality, along with his reputation as a 'bad boy' who gets into fights all day long. Suddenly, during the middle of Baek Chansol's senior year, a serial killer named August (who the police haven't caught) strikes again; this time, to erase all of the people in the orphanage where Baek Chansol lives. It is a tragedy. All of members of the orphanage, except for him, die. He is the only survivor thanks to the fact he was hanging out with Hansoo, but it still leaves him with traumatic memories. Years later, as he's chasing down the serial killer who still hasn't been caught, he encounters a person with information while applying to a job: a one UM weapon's company Hansoo, going by the name of the nephew of the director of UM AND the Director of Sales Team A at the company. Baek Chansol doesn't seem to recognize Park Hansoo. Park Hansoo, on the other hand, does recognize Baek Chansol. He ends up hiring Baek Chansol to be his personal manager, all the while knowing Baek Chansol's secret (and telling him straight up to his face that he knows). Thus begins the cat and mouse chase of Baek Chansol trying to get information about August from Park Hansoo, the childhood friend that he doesn't recognize from trauma-induced amnesia, but has recognized him from chasing August himself for the sake of Baek Chansol. ~Chapter 17

A college boy and his former club sempai start a cat and mouse game of love, with the boy not trusting the intentions of the sempai despite agreeing to date him (he has a complex of not being able to love others very deeply) and the latter shadily trying to get the other to fall in love with him (as a game, not as a real connection). Slowly, the older one starts to fall for the other. What will become of the two of them? ~Chapter 6.5

A cameraman at a wedding crashes into (literally) a guy with a cute smile and a cold presence. Next thing you know, he's asking the random stranger if he can take his picture, to which the guy surprisingly agrees. As they get to know each other more, they hang outside of strictly 'taking pictures' and end up with the tiny beginnings of a budding romance. ~ Chapter 5
