Ahiru no Oujisama (Kazao)
Cute stories ig 1st story - someone who was popular in grade school but went normal since middle school. He developed a little a complex about it, but he's also self aware, which is a bit sad to see.. then met a childhood friend who has a massive glow up. MC was always someone with a good natured (a bit hero-like where he stepped up to help the weak). 2nd story - gender fluid boi and a very open-minded boi. MC found out his friend dressed up in a skirt one day and what came to mind (and he also blurted it out) was how it fit the gender fluid guy so much.

You know what. I don't really give 2 shit about incest but sometimes it can still be cringe because that's literally someone you grew up with since they're a baby. Step brother or brother who part since young usually aren't a bother, but real brother growing up tgt. Idk man. BUT THIS ONE?? even tho it should be gross, I don't find them gross at all, and they're even cute tgt. Is this the power of Asada Nemui?!?? Anyway, the brothers story is cute. The other oneshot are also interesting af. Ch. 2 - a jobless man turned criminal because the comrade he found in jobless ppl park want to join the Yakuza (rejoin ig). Well, in the end he failed but it made the jobless guy feel sth and so he opted to be that Yakuza wannabe's duo. Ch. 3 - This one's real fantasy and comedic. A witch curse a loving couple because she's petty and heartbroken. Seme saw uke as a furry caterpillar. In the end, the curse broke and their love came out even stronger. Real cute. (And really nice to see human irrational struggle in a relationship like body odor, etc.) Ch. 4 - this one triggers sth in me. Like I know that the government's doing shit job, but fixing homelessness is also not a straightforward job too. Ch. 5 - a talented novelist who wrote incredible grotesque romance novel from his heartbreak lol. Love the relationship he has with the editor.

Man lol idk how to feel about this. This is almost like porn with plot. Mainly it's about crossdressing guy couple. Then there's ch7. A TV show where 100 virgins came to jerk off and see which couple is more erotic, I-

ALL SO FUCKING CUTE. There are 3 stories. 1) Yakuza who fell in love with a normal guy who picked him up by the trash on a rainy day. Typical, but cute nonetheless. Man, when the Yakuza pulled his shirt and he's got a pair of shoulder tattoos, I'M DEAD. fucking hot. 2) established couple where seme just learnt that his innocent-looking uke is lewd af. Cute stuff. 3) This about a guy who has a thing for his bsf's younger bro. He knew it was wrong and never acted on it. However, the younger bro also has a thing for him too *smirk*. This is my fav trope. When the younger kid grew up to be a seme and assertive af. LOVE.
Hatsukoi Big Honey
There are many stories here, but I remember 2. The roommate one where one is gay and the other is a popular guy. The popular guy is a good kid. The gay guy is not bad, just finds most stuff annoying, so they clash on tiny things sometimes. But the thing is the gay had a crush on the popular guy. The next story is about a good student who got along with his friend's, but he was forcing everything. Then there's this standoffish guy who goes by his own pace and likes music.

I can always count on this to make me cry. That first story caught me so off guard the first time. I probably bawled like a baby.
Koi To Wana
This is one of the earliest work of Yamamoto Kotesuko!! It has that unpolished, teenage love vibes to it!! There are 3 stories in this one; 1) A cute guy who "traps" the strongest person, so he could be protected from all the bully. In return, he lets the strongest guy fuck him (apparently, his daddy is someone influential). Anyway, he encountered this delinquent dude who usually skips classes or just sleeps during them. They fell in love, ofc. Idk, I think they're cute and our cute dude's so awkward, but our delinquent boy is also very aloof and not very affectionate (besides kissing). Note: delinquent boy's family used to be a yakuza (wow, the rumour's true lol). 2) A boy running away from his home because it was stifling how his parents kept pushing him to study and get better grades. He ran all the way to some countryside, ganged up by delinquents, got saved, the saviour extorted him later lol. He followed that guy to his home. The saviour was a carefree guy. He has 2 dads not related by blood, but they're very happy and warm. I like how he asked our mc how he measures love and warmness when mc said his family isn't as affectionate. 2) Flower shop romance. There's a boy who was very down. When he was so down he knelt to the ground, a kind guy gave him a flower pot to cheer him up. He has a crush on this guy ever since. Anyway, he kinda stalks(?) in front of the shop occasionally and got spotted by the owner. Someway, somehow, he got hired. Long story short, the owner has the hots for him since way before and was actually the one who told his worker to give our mc the flower pot.
Minzoku - Tsugai no Unmei to Okite (Anthology)
Gotta love supernatural BL shit. 1st story: love it. some village boi got eaten by a yokai, but was resurrected by a shaman. They had sex after lol. Anyway, it feels like a fever dream. 7th story: God's offering. They had sex, needless to say. My boy was utterly beautiful.
