[Nishin Masumi] Host is down (OPERA Vol. 57)

Adrift in a derelict spaceship, a lithe young man wired to the walls by cable and flesh faithfully tends the naked body sleeping in his master's life-support pod—until a salvage crew boards, and when one rugged, bearded spacer swings an axe at the terminal, the ship itself answers. The entity reveals that every corridor and hose is his body, crushing and tearing the intruders before claiming the last survivor, alien veins crawling across bare skin as a writhing appendage forces its way past his lips while the boy murmurs a plea for forgiveness to his new 'Master.' A chilling collision of sci-fi horror and yaoi where violation becomes assimilation and devotion to a master knows no limits.
