In high school, Hosho practically attacked his senior and crush, soccer captain Saotome, ending the relationship between them. Now 8 years later, they're reunited as Hosho, now a host, becomes a tenant in the complex where Saotome works as landlord. Hosho is determined to get closer to Saotome this time without crossing any boundaries, but both of them need to learn to use their words if they want this to work. Trigger warning: noncon touching.

Misaki and Kou grew up together in an orphanage as practically brothers, and now Misaki manages the place while Kou works as the Catholic priest there. But when Kou starts keeping secrets and Misaki starts to hear rumors that Kou might be getting paid to sell his body, how he sees their relationship begins to change. The story was fine, nothing special, and the translation wasn't the best. Trigger warning: forced confinement.

Shion and Ibuki are childhood friends, but one day a mysterious voice says that in seven days, Shion will be taken from this world for being too good. Ibuki is desperate to stop this, but as Shion loses his senses one by one, the only thing he can think of is defiling his friend through sex. This one is pretty good, but it doesn't stick the landing and the last chapter is a bit of a disappointment. Trigger warnings: bullying, lies/manipulation, attempted suicide.

Prince Altarf and his servant Yona have been together for years, ever since Al found him as the soul survivor of a caravan attacked by bandits and gave him a name. Yona would do anything for Al, but as Al tries to get more physically intimate, that's the one thing Yona holds back, feeling that would destroy their current relationship. But with political machinations and ugly desires rearing their heads in the court, Yona and Al may be in more danger than they realize. This one was good and I liked Yona's pretty character design. Trigger warnings: murder, sex trafficking, attempted rape.

Hikaru feels like his little brother Hijiri is better than him at everything, so he likes to seduce his brother's girlfriends to feel like he has something of his own. So when Hijiri starts hanging out with middle schooler Sachio, Hikaru assumes they're dating and tries to get in on this only to be embarrassed by Sachio's earnestness and purity. After that, he's approached by Sachio's older brother, Tomura, who he can tell is in love with him, and they start hanging out, but Hikaru feels like he's taking advantage of Tomura's feelings. I didn't love this one, and honestly the main couple didn't do it for me. Sachio and Hijiri were very cute when they finally got together in the last episode, though I still feel a little awkward about that age gap. Trigger warnings: underage love interest.

Narumiya and Tsukushima are rival alphas at a top company, or at least that's what Narumiya thought until Tsukushima went into heat in front of him one night. He can't hold back and they begin together, but why does Tsukushima seem to want Narumiya to bite his neck so bad when they're little better than sex friends. I liked Tsukushima as a non-traditional omega, even if he was a bit of a scumbag. Trigger warning: lies/manipulation.

While walking home, Shouma finds a drunk guy in the trash and can't help but take him in. Back at his house, he realizes the drunk is Ashida, a former classmate of his. Ashida broke up with his boyfriend and needs a place to stay, so Shouma offers, but now that they're living together, what does that make them when things start to get physical? Trigger warning: dubcon.

Haruki(sub) works as a host but he's in such bad shape even medicine can't help, so he finally uses a matching app to find a dom. The dom, Shirai, has a really fulfilling play with him and offers to become partners, but Haruki books it out of there. Only next thing he knows, Shirai is a new hire at his host club asking Haruki to give him one more chance, and if he's satisfied, they'll be partners. Haruki doesn't want to become addicted to the pleasure a sub can feel, but he can't say no, and their relationship begins. This wasn't quite what I expected from the title, but it was fine and I liked that their relationship had good consent. Trigger warnings: blackmail, attempted rape.

But when they run into each other again by chance, Kiyotake starts to get closer, causing Takayuki to make terrible decisions to run from him. Trigger warning: violence.
