Yamikin Shinshi no Kiken na Akuheki – Satou Hachiko

“Damn, you’re a whiny pup, aren’t you…? I haven’t cum yet.”

June, the number one rentboy at his brothel, is requested by a client and goes to the hotel as usual. There, he meets a sexy yet suspicious man named Onda. Onda introduces himself as a “money lender”– a loan shark – and suddenly he pressures June to repay the debt his ex-boyfriend left behind!? And after all that, he asks June, “Now, then… Why don’t you comfort me for a little bit?” June is made to suck his hot, erect cock, and then he’s fucked hard and deep…!!

Rent boy romance is a hard sell to me because I like my couples exclusive, unless the story specifically set out to be poly. I read this because I was curious if this is a romance I would buy.

Dangerous Vices of a Gentleman Loan Shark reminded me a lot like Okane ga Nai, but with better drawn characters and better proportioned size difference between the MCs. Also, the uke has more spine than the weepy MC of Okane ga Nai.

Rent boy June, a.k.a. Junya Kiryu, was forced to do dirty jobs for yakuza-looking-but-not-actual-yakuza loan shark Onda, after learning his ex forged his signature as the co-signer for a huge loan. Onda wasn’t above using Junya for pleasure while the younger man continue gathering intel about his clients.

Seeing that Junya has more practical skills than just using his body, Onda hired him for a month to do whatever tasks he needed done. They promptly got into the routine of sex plus work plus sex plus feels. Until one day, Junya was abducted.

This is super steamy, but with a solid plot and a passably developed romance. Onda’s and Junya’s personalities were typical of their character’s kind. Cool, cocky asshole in Onda the seme while boyish, passionate and blushy in Junya the uke, but neither were particularly memorable.

The execution lacked intensity in delivering the external and internal conflicts, the romantic feelings, the sense of danger, and the stakes. Overall, okay but forgettable, which is sad because I had high expectations. You could read it for the smut, though.
