No Money (novel)

No Money (お金がないっ) is a yaoi novel and manga created by Hitoyo Shinozaki and illustrated by Tōru Kousaka. Besides the manga, there are also drama CDs and four OVA's.

Synopsis
Eighteen year old Yukiya Ayase is an orphaned college student. His older cousin Tetsuo Ishii betrays and sells him in a sex slave auction to the highest bidder to settle his heavy debts. Ayase is bought by loan shark Somuku Kanou for 120 million yen.

The reason Kanou does this is because he remembers Ayase from 4 years ago, when Ayase, a stranger (who was fourteen years old at the time), had helped him. Now Kanou wants to keep Ayase in order to get close to him, but when Ayase tries to back out, Kanou then uses the debt of 120 million yen to force Ayase to stay with him, reminding him that Ayase now belongs to him. As Ayase is still a student and does not have a job, he is forced to sell his body to Kanou for 500,000 yen every time that they have sex.
