358. Praise Me When I'm a Good Boy - licensed - Even at my big age, I learn something new every day, as this D/s BL about a sub teacher hooking up with a Dom ex-student belongs to a genre called Dom/sub verse that works like omegaverse. A bit odd, but the emotional core of the story was still good.

Majo to Neko (Witch and Cat)

[alumirp]

Hound and Witch/Panter&Witch/ Witch and…Monkey?!

"Good morning!"

As always, his greeting was ignored.

Living in a tiny, run-down apartment, next to a grumpy and silent neighbor, working in an unreliable and dangerous job, Hatake Kakashi is a man with smiling eyes, but a face hidden by a mask. With an equally mysterious past, the only small joy in his life is being constantly ignored by his handsome, surly neighbor, but when said past comes looking for him, this handsome neighbor, who is actually a witch(?!), finds himself becomes Kakashi's only salvation

…..

"Good morning~"

Once again, Toji ignored that annoying sound.

Born into a family of ancient magic and old money, Toji could smell a witch or a familiar from miles away without even thinking about it. And while the bastards' organs were worth a lot, the boy next door was decent and cute, despite being annoying, so he didn't see the need to kill him just yet. It didn't mean that Toji wanted to have any connection with the witch… None other than constantly stopping the boy from killing himself or setting the building on fire or simply compacting the entire city into a golf ball, because apparently the brat, a vat Inexhaustible of mana and potential, has no idea what a witch is.

….

As a witch, Law knew the dangers that surrounded him. People would kill him for his organs and blood and enslave him for his magic. Thus, he lived in virtual seclusion, avoiding new people, barely speaking to those he already knew while trying to maintain a semblance of normality by working as a surgeon in a hospital. Things change when a boy appears on his operating table, but not an ordinary boy. Monkey D Luffy was a familiar who had apparently failed to protect his witch, his own older brother, from hunters. Logically speaking, Law shouldn't be interested in him, but it just felt…right.

(this is old lol. very obviously inspired by

Witch & Cat

by Yodaka Kuroi. I love this manga, it's amazing and it helps that the MC looks like Toji ~ I'm not into the Tojigo vibe anymore, but at the time, I thought it looked perfect for both of them. Also, Kakashi and Iruka would also fit in, so I wrote them both. But recently, I thought about how much fun Law and Luffy would be in this scenario.)

Ive got no one to talk to but goddamn kuroi yodaka just has this ability to draw men who look like they would crumble and sink straight into sub space at the slightest praise. And that's what I love about their BL lol

[maletitties]

how od you sned thing s on tumblr dot crom

here you go i dont know what im doign i feel so old

Inukei no Kareshi by Kadiro More of a romance comedy about a wolfman and a human. No sex scenes (yet?) but it’s very wholesome and cute. I really like the main character (big surprise) and I always look to see if there’s been an update. It’s generally very wholesome and is more of a slice-of-life but with most of the boring stuff replaced with gayness. The art is also very nice and charming and again I really like the main character. 

[18+] Ai da nante Iwanai kara (We Won’t Call It Love) by HIGURE Kure Mutual-burn childhood romance manga where the guys graduated from school and ended up moving far away to be reunited by both a wedding and a funeral. These men suck at communicating and damn that sure is going to be a loveless marriage but hey, it’s pretty cute otherwise. The sex scenes are bad and boring, but the story is pretty good.

Sweet Rendezvous by HIGURE Kure Blind app dating excepts its people looking for folks to eat food with for whatever reason. Strange concept, but it’s very cute and the romance is subtle but sweet.

 [18+] Matataki no Ao o Tadotte (Follow the Twinkling Blue of the Stars) by COICO Ico The premise of this one is a weird one. It’s a childhood-friend-just-out-of-a-coma-to-lovers type manga… Yeah. Has some weird dynamics like student x teacher but this time it’s actually legal? And the circumstances are questionable and bizarre but it’s a cute read otherwise. I actually don’t remember if there’s any sex scenes so I’ll mark this as 18+ just in case. 

[18+] Torano Tantei Jimusho e Youkoso (Welcome to the Torano Detective Agency) by KUROI Yodaka Peak. In a world where humans and beastmen co-exist in society, it’s a romance between a down-on-his-luck semi-ex delinquent/punk guy and the titled detective of a detective agency. Punk boy needs a job and hits the goldmine of a lifetime (live-in assistant who has all expenses including food paid for as long as they do housework alongside acting as a detective’s assistant) and the two end up having probably the best confession scene I’ve ever seen in manga or anime. Ever. It’s so good. There is one (1) sex scene and it’s really short. This is a really good manga. It even has elements of found family. It’s so good. 

[18+] Koibito Keiyaku-chuni Suki by MATSUDA Io An alright manga. Kind of cute in execution with way too many sex scenes. Weird usage of the fake boyfriend trope and ultimately the plot is so nothing I really couldn’t care less, but the interpersonal love has it where it counts. Feels a little like a stereotypical office romance manga with a boys’ love twist, which is neither here nor there.

Daraku Kazoku-ron (Dysfunctional Family Therapy) by Tsurukame Mayo It’s hard getting a good read on this one. There’s a lot of setup but the setup feels like it isn’t done yet. It seems like it’s trying to be a slow burn but I don’t know for sure… This manga has elements of found family but not in any way you’d expect, and revolves around two men who slept with a woman and now has to figure out who’s going to be the parent now that the mother passed away. The relationships are kind of all over the place so far, but where I was able to read up to it’s clear the intent is for them to have been mutually in love in the past, but it still feels like I don’t super know whats going on.

 Musubime wo Hodoitara (Once You Loosen the Knot) by ICHI Bom Picked this one up without realizing it only had one chapter currently, and it’s alright. I learned some neat things about tea ceremonies at least! I’m interested to see more, though the place I read this at tagged this as “twins” and that scares me, but it may be there just because the love interest may have a twin? Cos it so far has it established that the two boys are from different families. If it turns out that it’s some nasty incest stuff I’m gonna drop it.

 Chiba Kyoukan wa Nabikanai (Professor Chiba Isn’t Flattered) by KINGYOBACHI Deme This manga is a bit strange, but it wasn’t a bad read. It’s about a driving teacher falling in mutual love with one of his (same age) students who turned out to be a shy mangaka. I don’t super like the student-teacher relationship dynamic as a whole but I’m willing to look past it if it’s not super weird or creepy about it… This one was okay.

 [18+] Ore no Kareshi ga Ichiban Kawaii by NIHONMATSU Shino An immensely cute manga with childhood-friends-to-lovers. I love love love seeing punk representation even if it’s with actual, literal delinquents, and the relationship dynamic was very cute. It does have sex scenes, though I skipped them usual. The story is very charming and was all in all a good read!

 [18+] Adatsubaki Yugamite Haguruma by Fukiya Furo A historical manga about samurai. This is a real weird one with dynamics, and it’s an enemy to lovers type manga. Despite all of its quirks, I couldn’t really bring myself to put it down though the romance itself is… Kind of super messed up. This follows the story of a samurai who murders the man he loves, only to be challenged by his dead lover’s son, who falls in love with him during his mission for revenge. It’s wack. 

[18+] Furimuite Tsukamaete (I Want To See Me In Your Eyes) by Yoriko Another oddball manga with weird dynamics. Childhood friend/crush’s younger brother moves in with the main character sometimes after said crush moves in with his girlfriend. They eventually fall in love. It’s a strange dynamic, but overall the manga is kind of cute.

Slow Morning by Kagis Childhood friends type manga where they’re reunited again after 6 years. Not enough has happened in the manga so far to give me a clear opinion but I like the art style and I’m interested to see how this one goes!

Sasori to Otome by SUMIYA Zeniko A childhood friends-to-lovers between a mangaka and his ex classmate. It’s… Alright? I didn’t hate it though the dynamic is ultimately lacking to me… I only read the one marked “Volume 1” thus far so maybe it gets better later? 

[18+] 18.44 by Momoko Suika Good ol gay baseball. Childhood friends type manga where one of the two is really stupid. It’s not a bad manga and is rather cute, though as usual I skipped the sex scene at the end cos I don’t super care.

 [18+] Achira Kochira de Aimashou (The Man in the Mirror) by Yukibayashi A romance between a would-be king and a would-be family head. The premise was kind of silly but it won me out in the end. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and I did appreciate seeing a man with longer hair in a manga for a change…

 [18+] Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shika Nai! by GAMOKO Tsuyu A manga about a chronically unlucky man and a chronically lucky man falling in love. It was a bit refreshing how the relationship itself felt a little bit more normal compared to other manga I’ve read. It was pretty good.

 Haru no Mozu by fu Another slow rolling ongoing manga. It’s interesting so far and doesn’t really seem to super understand what being nonbinary is, but still need to see that appear in a manga. I’m curious to see how this manga will go. 

[18+] Chiguhagu na Kiss (Hug Me, Kiss Me) by SUEHIRO Machi A misunderstanding turns into a rather wholesome romance. It was a good read, though as usual I skipped the sex scenes. I didn’t know how to feel at first cos it opened up with the protagonist trying to get a girlfriend but I ended up enjoying it in the end.

THIS RULES

thank you flannel, your opinions/synopses are also very appreciated!!! ^o^

heya! thank you for your hard work 🙇‍♀️ i was wondering if you were planning on picking up yodaka’s new work: “witch’s dog”? 🙏🙏🙏

hi, thanks for reaching out :)

i don't plan to take this work on since i'm not a fan of the plot or characters as much as kuroi yodaka's other works.

i was really interested in taking on sensei's Welcome to the Torano Detective Agency, and i was looking to see if i could pick it up when i finally scored some holiday time from my corporate slave job. however i realised that Copyright Infringement Scans beat me to it. but i have no hard feelings - their scanlation work is absolutely superb and they release very quickly :)

it might be worth asking them if they plan to take on The Witch's Dog. their email is on their mangadex page.

[rasher-translations]

Hello hope you're doing well! I was wondering, do you have any plans to pick up Yodaka sensei's other works once they're completed? I feel like I can't get enough haha

Hiya :) I completely get you: I love Sensei's work too.

I like to read the whole story before I consider scanlating it, so I might if I can find the tankoubon raws online.

If you haven't already, it may be worth reaching out to Team Konbini, who scanlated The Omega Takes a Husband, to see if they have any plans to take on any more of Sensei's works. They do award-worthy scanlation...!
