Shichakushitsu No Midara Na Shinshi
ch 1-3 is about a salaryman who has "beautiful legs". the manager of a renowned shoe brand store falls in love with his legs. they end up together, and he gets pampered by said manager (who's a millionaire cuz shoe brand is too expensive). ch 4 is confusing tbh. whose bday is today??? but yeah, too meh to describe ch 5 is rape. ew.

ch 1 + 7: I liked the president :)) That said, the story is just meh. The seme seems to like the uke way before but couldn't make a move because they're both tachi. 5/10 ch 2 + 3: OMG. I honestly didn't like chapter 2 until the revelation that it was just a roleplay. 8/10 #fave ch 4: It's under Joshi BL, not uploaded here. It's cute, i honestly want to see more of the granny. The couple were just meh though. 4/10 ch 5: ...he wants to get raped... that said, this story is kinda.. amusing? he knew it was Mama just from the hands. Although... Mama doesn't look that handsome??? Or idk, maybe that's just the make up that's why he looks ugly. Good ending though. 5/10 ch 6 is uploaded separately, my comment will be there.

Ch 1-2: about a detective who's guilty about his incompetence which resulted in his partner's eyes getting damage... but then it seems like his partner's eyes are already fine, why is he hiding it though? Pretty boring tbh. 4/10. Ch 3: A man who wants to be a shirobai can't pass the exam, but he's too determined to give up. Enter a new student who's doing well. Apparently, the new student knows the mc way before hence why enrolled. What connects them? Cute, but lacking as a one-shot. It'd probably be better if it had 2 chapters. 6/10. Ch 4-5: A policeman who's bored in life has his attention caught by a man who's always standing by the sea, staring at nothingness. He wants to learn more about the man, and the opportunity comes in the most unexpected way - the man's brother is connected to some criminal organization. Is this how they finally connect? It's heartwarming. The metaphor (about him getting a tug from a fish) reaaally made it good. But what made it better is his organizer. Hehehe. 7/10.

ch 1-3, 5.5: cliche. Skimmed. 5/10 ch 4: love how the uke is aggressive. Although I think both of them do it anyway. 6/10 ch 5: aaaaaalmost cute. Except for the ending where the seme harassed the uke. He's too stupid to think it's harassment that's why he kept going. Annoying. 1/10
5 Seconds
What the fck is this shit XD I can't take it seriously nor can I take it as comedy. Sorry XD So now I undropped it. I dropped it at the fist story, so when I learned it's multiple stories, I picked it up again, because it feels unfair for the other stories. 1. First/titular story takes up 2 chapters + the extra. It made me drop this anthology because of its weirdness - the idea seems hot and funny at the same time. Though when I read the extra, my impression took a 180-degree turn because IT'S JUST EXTREMELY HOT. TWICE THE SENSATION. OMG. 6/10 (3/10 for the main, +3 from the extra) 2. The second story is about twins who reencounter each other after some time. It's not said why they're away from each other - perhaps due to career choices or something, although it's hinted that their parents might've separated them after catching them in action *insert sad cockblocked lenny face*. Cliche. 4/10. 3. Soooo... This one caught my attention. I haven't read much manga about stalkers (I honestly hate romanticization of such behaviour), but this one was nice. Stalker x stalker. Not cliche, but not exemplary. 5/10. 4. This one is a huge wtf for me. Yes, this is not to my taste. Regardless, I think it would still get a low score from me because the dialogues are messy at some point (who's who, who's talking, what's happening), and the art/camera-view isn't good either. Aaaand, the story is simply about the third person in the 3-way friendship who feels left out + some UNHEALTHY BDSM, yet still manages to make itself look more complicated unnecessarily. 2/10. 5. I kinda want to see more of this tbh. A story about two highschool students, one wants to be an actor, the other wants to be a cameraman/director/whatever that captures the actor's best points. Then when they grew up, the one aspiring to be an actor fails and lands a job as a gay AV actor. All's well that ends well they say. :) I like the ending. 7/10. Overall: 2.4/5 or 2 stars. Still the same as the score I gave before.
Kimi No Karada Ni Koishiteru!?
Chapter 2 is the only one I liked - about a person who crossplays/became a stage actor for his crush/childhood friend. Else, just meh. Though they're at least cute and fluffy. Then ch 4 (and 4.5) is just toxic af.
