Sonoki ni Sasenaide
The first story was okay but nothing too amazing. Plot: Smut: Fluff: 2nd story is definitely more my style. They are colleagues, both seminar professors. One is friendly, not slutty and the other is timid not cold. They've been together for 15 years! Longest lasting bl relationship that I know of. Kudos to them. Plot: Smut: Fluff:

Sono Otoko, Goyoujin
1st story - megane superior with wavy hair x dog like subordinate who is persistent as hell. The seme is a super tsundere and I don't think he even once uttered words like "I like/love you(too)" but they are still kinda cute. Usually, I don't go for stories with super stalker like characters or cold characters that keep mistreating their partners but for some reason, this one worked for me. 2nd story - doctor (dermatologist) x patient (has a wart on his foot). This one was a short story but it was good enough for what it was. The seme is the typical dominant type and the uke is a vocal sub, pretty assertive too and has no qualms in saying what he wants...except he doesn't say that he's in love with the doctor!

Gomen Ne Idol-kun
1st story - idol senpai x idol kouhai. The kouhai has always had a special place in senpai's heart ever since they met years ago when the kouhai cheered on senpai during a time when he was feeling very low. That motivated senpai to work hard just so he won't be embarrassed of himself if/whenever they meet again. Very sweet and fluffy. 2nd story - idol x idol. Idols of the same group. Seme is a dom and uke appears to be cute and friendly but he's actually slso very lewd and is submissive. A lot of people(other readers) seemed to hate Chihaya but I don't share the same sentiment. I feel like he's misunderstood. People were saying he was an awful sadist but I saw none of that. Rachi is submissive therefore he didn't mind how Chihaya was "bullying" him. He even asked to be treated more roughly and that surprised Chihaya. If anything, Chihaya is actually the one being controlled by Rachi. He's doting too much on Rachi. I guess those kinds of people just exist. Don't get me wrong, I don't like mistreatment but I didn't see any of that sort here. It was a pretty good read. Plot: Smut: Fluff:
Porno of Yankees
1st story - delinquent x delinquent. Very sweet, cute, smutty and fluffy! 2nd story - mangaka x editor. Dom-M/Sub-S. Seme is an ero mangaka and forced his editor to do a lot of sexual favours for him and the uke agreed for the benefit of his own career and he's also a natural dominant masochist. 3rd story - soccer player x senpai. Uke is very assertive and domineering. I only really liked the first pairing. They were really cute together and I felt like it was real love that they felt for each other. Plot: Smut: Fluff:
Sannin Gurashi
Yes. Yes! A million times YES! This manga was great from start to finish. I cried so many times for different reason. First, I cried because I could relate with the fears and pain that the little brother was going through and secondly, I cried tears of happiness because they found their happy family! The last pairing was about average, tbh but the family vibes from the first 2 pairings was just perfect. I'll definitely re-read this again. I'm kinda mad that I've been putting this manga on hold for so long because I assumed it would not be that happy an ending because it was just tagged shounen-ai. The cover plus the tag made me think that it might be just one of those stories with a bittersweet ending but nope! I was so wrong! 1st story - big brothr x cook. Seme is a responsible adult, who has been taking care of his little bro ever since he was just a teen because they were left by their parents. Then he meets a cook at a restaurant where he was working at and they fall in love. Seme is one of the most honest, loving and caring characters I've seen in any bl manga. He was open about his relationship and told his little brother who his lover was. He and his partner lived together with his little bro and they pretty much became a perfect, loving household. 2nd story - is about the little brother from the first story. He developed a little crush on a regular customer who happens to be the older brother of the uke from the first story. At the same time, he reencounters his old childhood friend who then confesses to him. This pairing was very cute. They experienced heartbreak but ultimately, LOVE WINS! 3rd story - high school student x nursery teacher. It wasn't love at first sight, per se but all it took for them to fall in love was one particular encounter and eye contact! Plot: Smut: Fluff:
