Taka ga Fukuen
Hm, interesting. Salary man has repeated nightmares about a boy from his past, 20 years ago. Suddenly the guy is working in a shoe store next to where he works and they run into each other constantly. They become close again and rehash the past that made them drift apart. There's a side story in here about a college guy who was raped and can't get over the shame that he still craves being penetrated again.
Hogu Hagyeongsu
Holy crap, guy gets gang-raped by his boyfriend's friends and is haunted by it in his nightmares. Then one day he gets close to a customer at the convenience store he works in and realizes that he likes him and he makes the nightmares stop. Then the boyfriend swoops back into his life. I'm genuinely scared about what's going to happen!
By My Side
Hot damn, why did this last chapter end like that? MORE! Childhood friends are all grown up and living next door to each other. One day Sakyou walks in on Uyama jerking off and saying his name. Then when drinking together Uyama gives him a BJ. This spirals into Sakyou thinking about their relationship and if/how it's changing. I really like the inner dialogue. I also really like that neither of the guys are super girly looking. I feel like Uyama, who has long-known he was gay is prob the uke and one of the least feminine ukes I've seen yet.
Gelateria Supernova
Secretly gay guy doesn't get involved in relationships and starts hooking up for ice cream and sex with a guy who's name he doesn't even know. They hook up so often that he starts to develop feelings for him. Then one day the guy disappears and he tries to get over his heartbreak and regret that they never bridged the gap from being just sex friends to having a real relationship.

I don't usually like stepbrother yaoi but my opinion got upgraded somewhat from the drama/feels in this, especially the part when the younger stepbrother broke down and confessed his feelings. I didn't like that he appeared to continue to hook up with women even after screwing his brother that first time. I mean, I know the older brother kinda forced him to deny what happened but still....
Hatsukoi Wa Gunjou Ni Tokeru
Sad but touching. A student befriends and falls in love with another student who was bullied and raped by other students
CASTLE MANGO
So much drama! Main character lies to be in a relationship with an AV director, thinking he's protecting his little brother. But when he's gradually falling for the director the director sees him on a date (forced date) and pushes him away. Then there's a bunch of family drama and trouble with the family love hotel. The ending is sweet and good. I do feel a bit of resentment that the poor main character shouldered so much stress on his own, when the director knew what was going on.
On Doorstep
Retired ex-cop catches a guy stealing a wallet but instead of turning him into the police he makes him apologize and help work at the bookstore he currently works at. The thief considers revenge but instead becomes more and more interested in the ex-cop, falling in love and deciding to turn his life around. I enjoyed this MUCH more than I thought I would because I'm not overly fond of cop stories. The thief and the cop were very likable and genuine feeling and drawn VERY handsomely. The sex scenes were super sexy, too.
Ani Wa Motokare
Kinda confusing. The main character is, i think, the younger brother, who is a middle schooler with a girlfriend. He goes to a photography gallery, whose invite was sent to his older brother. The photographer then goes to his house where he bumps into the older brother and punches him. Flashback of them falling in love. I was expecting this to be an age-gap love story between the middle schooler and his brother's former lover, but I guess it's not.
