A loaded and degenerate old man. A smooth-talking, handsome guy out to make some cash on the side. And the mysterious but feisty young boy who crashes the scene. Life and love are all fair and good, but sex and money are where it's at for boy-crazy Taesuh. Between acting in the theater and working at the bar, his plate is full. Meanwhile, his "boss" is keeping him extra busy on the night shift. Taesuh knew full well what he was getting into when he signed up for the so-called "part-time job," but when Hyunwoo is tossed into the mix, the part-time job looks like it's headed for overtime.
Love Recycle was originally published as donginji (doujinshi) in Korea.
Taesuh
Having a part-time job isn't uncommon; having two is rarer, but it still happens. Having three on the other hand, is just insanity. Taesuh works at a bar, lives it up on the stage as a performer in a theatre troupe, and for his night shift, he works as a male escort. He's handsome, smooth-talking, sweet, clever and funny, but most of all he's got an unbreakable heart to put up with the kind of crap he gets into in his during his night shift. He's got a soft spot for the younger guys, and when Hyunwoo unceremoniously shows up during a night session, Taesuh's not sure what to make of him.
Hyunwoo
Hyunwoo is a shy, unassuming high school kid who shows up one night during one of the night sessions Taesuh is participating in. Seduced by an older man, Hyunwoo's fragile heart is strung out for all to see; even he's not sure of how he truly feels. He's sensitive, emotional and untrusting of everyone – including Taesuh.

I don't read a lot of doujinshi but I was so impressed by this. Yet another good doujinshi title that Netcomics has picked up. And it wasn't just a bunch of smut scenes - woo hoo! More, please.
Anyone familiar with this artist? I would love to read more of her work.
Maybe you guys didn't read U Don't Know Me, its the same style. I think all their stuff is just a one shot or a short story. So if you're not used to the fast paced type of story, don't insult the writer. I really think its really good. Not like other writers who kept going on and on over something and in the end get you confuse. This writer's style is like that, fast paced, to the point, they got the point across, if you don't get it, tough luck.
Read it again, for those who didn't get it. Read it carefully. There is a lesson in the story. A minor was suckered into being a male escort because he thought that the old guy loves him, one of the reasons why he won't do it with anyone else but with him. The pro, Taesuh told him that he's got no place in the business being that way, in that kind of business, there's no place for love or you would end up hurt and broken hearted. Still he couldn't give up on Hyunwoo, the minor, the boy, he wants to rescue him, save him. So he end up losing his part time job and yes, getting the boy from the rich old fart which is their sugar daddy.
Don't you guys, get it? They end up together. That's it. That's why it ended that way, Taesuh rescued him because he can't just forget him, Hyunwoo, the boy, who was so smart ass at the start, end up confessing why he was in that kind of position in the first place, because he thought the old guy loves him. It ended with a promise that it would be a start of a meaningful relationship.
