Lecture me if you like, but I really like mangas with dominant/more abusive male leads, rape/almost-rape scenes, somewhat violent non-consensual sex, etc. Bonus points if the female lead isn't completely weak/ditzy, and if the plot isn't terrible. 😛

Akuma na Eros
Barairo My Honey
Desire Climax
Haou Airen
Kindan no Koi de Ikou
Midnight Secretary (OHMI Tomu)
Rouge et Noir
Gekka Mugentan (ongoing)
Anata ni Hana o Sasagemashou (ongoing)

hope it helps 😉

If I’m upset, hold me and tell me how beautiful I am.
If I growl, retreat to a safe distance and throw chocolate.

Thanks! Desire climax was really good, and Barairo My Honey and Haou Airen are definitely going on my reading list.

If I had to compare works based on male possessiveness and "rough sex"... Midnight Secretary is higher up on the meter than Barairo My Honey... but at least they both have a decent plot...

As for "rape-esque" stories... you can try Kayono... uhhhhh... the controversial volume (though I didn't know about it... I just read the volume and found out about it later): Shinobi no Onna - the 2nd story... but I actually liked the 3rd story and a bit of the 1st story... Shura to Otome's 1st story may be something you're looking for too...

I think the 1st story in Choukyoushi (FUJII Mitsuru) has an intense male lead?

Yoru Koi? I have yet to figure out what exactly that dream is from the 1st chapter...

Biyaku Cafe is by the same mangaka as Desire Climax... I actually prefer this story over Desire Climax...

But for the psychological story with hardcore possessiveness without full-blown smut: Hakuji. Wow... it's so sensual and just... whoa...
