After being kicked out by her cheating husband and cruel mother-in-law, Adeline heads back to her home village to learn that her parents have died and the village needs to offer a sacrifice to the dragon god. With nowhere else to go, Adeline offers herself, expecting to die. To her surprise, the dragon god comes for her and says they will be married if they can live together this whole month without ever once lying to each other. Trigger warnings: cheating, murder.

Chigusa is a salaryman who notices what seems to be an abandoned kitten on his way home, so he picks it up and washes it off to find it doesn't quite look like a kitten. Then, the next day, the kitten transforms into a human and he learns that the kitten, which he calls Kedama, is actually the ghost of an abandoned cat who wants to pay him back. The two begin living together and, despite Kedama's efforts often causing more trouble, Chigusa is happy. But Kedama's energy is waning, and his time might be nearly up...The main couple is fine but don't especially stand out to me. Trigger warning: animal abandonment.

Yoona is an ordinary job seeker who was summoned by the king of hell to be his new secretary. Although he chose her based mostly on her looks, she's perfect meticulous and demanding and ends up being perfect at the job. The only hiccup is that on her first night there, the demon hot springs essentially made her drunk and horny, and now she and her boss have a situationship going on. Trigger warning: drunk sex

Maika is from an onmyoji family, and on her 18th birthday, she summons the shikigami Homura to protect her, only to learn that she's supposed to sleep with him to provide her energy. Maika doesn't want to do that without love, leading to some conflict between the two. But when she finally does realize she loves him, things get even more complicated as it turns out she already has a fiance she didn't know about AND love between a human and a shikigami is taboo. Not sure exactly when this came out, but it feels very early 2000s, and the whole story moves very quickly. Trigger warning: manipulation.

After getting kicked out by her abusive husband and mother-in-law for being unable to bear children, Ume returns to her home village to learn her parents have died, and it's time for the yearly ritual to send a sacrifice to the mountain god. With nothing going for her, she offers to go in place of the girl they were going to send and meets Shoma, a wolf god with a muzzle who doesn't speak but writes things for her. He tells her that they'll have a trial marriage, and if they go one month without lying to each other, they will be wed. I like the FL, and the story is fine with decent smut, though I'm not really sure what the main conflict is yet. Trigger warnings: abuse, attempted murder.

Ryuka and Velk (a beastman) live together in Ryuka's small village ever since he found Velk wounded a year ago and took him in. Velk asked Ryuka to be his mate back then, and the two have been sleeping together ever since, but Ryuka hesitates to give Velk his heart, even so. But when it looks like Velk might lose Ryuka after all, will Ryuka have any regrets? Trigger warnings: death of family members.

Hakua is sent to take down a man-eating tiger but instead gets kidnapped himself by Youko, the descendant of tigers who married humans who can take on a human shape. Youko insists that Hakua bear him a child, and even when he learns Hakua is male, he rapes him. But after that the two live together for a while and Youko begins to understand human feelings more as Hakua comes to forgive him. But Hakua can't stay away from human society forever. Will Youko be able to give him up now that he's finally found someone who accepts him? Kind of choppy and obviously a bad start for a romance, but I liked the depiction of Youko's character growth. Trigger warning: rape, mention of cannibalism(man-tiger eating humans). Trigger warning: rape.

Ch.1-1.5 - I Just Wanna Be a Good Boy - Everyone is born with a voice of Virtue and of Temptation who try to guide them along the way. This is the story of the voices of high schooler Kenta, who has been listening to Temptation a lot more lately while crushing over his classmate, Hasumi. But when Temptation starts tempting Virtue, as well, what happens when Virtue gives in?! Very cute story and idea, would love to see more so it's too bad it's a oneshot. Trigger warning: dubcon, noncon kiss. Ch.2 - Tsundere Template - Katanashi just finished an anime and found a new love of tsundere characters, so his classmate introduces him to the ultimate tsundere, a boy at school named Toga. Though Toga doesn't show it, he's pleased to meet someone who isn't put off by his prickly side, but when he realizes Katanashi liked him because of an anime, will he be able to take Katanashi's feelings seriously? Very cute, classic tsundere. No trigger warnings. Ch.3 - Sweet Trip Homestay Happenings - Akihisa has severe social anxiety, so his family sends him on a study abroad to Australia to get over it. There he meets Lucas, the son of his host family, who speaks some Japanese but only seems to tease him. But when he pushes Lucas away and gets into trouble, Lucas is still there to save the day, so maybe Lucas cares, after all? Cute enough, but didn't stick out to me. No trigger warnings. Ch.4 - The Whispers Echoing in the Last Station - A train conductor always makes the announcements himself, even though he figures no one listens to him. To make matters worse, after the last train one night he finds a drunk passenger passed out on a bench. But when the passenger recognizes his voice and starts to come onto him, the conductor isn't sure how to feel. Short and sweet. Trigger warning: dubcon. Ch.5 - High Voltage Love Shock! - Itsuto is a regular high school student except for the fact that in winter, he carries such a strong electric charge, he can't touch anyone without getting shocked, which has turned the idea of touching a lover on Christmas into an impossible dream.

Mizuki is a modern-day vampire who eats semen to survive, even though it tastes pretty bad, until one night poor planning leads to him jumping his classmate Sakura who he finds out has the most delicious semen of all. After that, Mizuki is determined not to lose hold of this great meal, and while he gets Sakura on board, Sakura wants more out of their relationship. I honestly think Sakura is really unfair to Mizuki, especially considering Mizuki is literally starving himself for him. Anyway, I like them as a couple overall. Trigger warnings: noncon, attempted cheating, drunk sex equivalent.
