Aoi haru,akaiito
Yuuki is a doctor's son under a lot of pressure at school who blows off steam through sex meetups. Asahi is a stranger who called out to him saying, "you look like you're about to die," only to wind up as a transfer student at Yuuki's school. But it turns out that, while Asahi lives in a very different world as the son of the owner of a theater troupe, he feels much of the same pressure, and both boys are looking for a place to belong, which perhaps they can find together. I liked the ending a lot, though it did make me laugh that Yuuki's like, "no, we can't do this!" Only for them to hug and then I assume change nothing XD Trigger warnings: statutory rape(?), violence.

Takase is a closeted gay who meets his girlfriend at the same cafe each week alongside a gay man meeting his boyfriend, Yuuichi. After both men are cheated on, Takase suggests that they meet up and bond over being heartbroken without revealing his sexuality to Yuuichi, and they become friends. As the two grow closer, Takase wants to face Yuuichi honestly and confess his love, but his early lies make it even harder for Yuuichi to open his heart again in turn. Trigger warning: cheating.

His new roommate Touma is a white lion who doesn't want anything to do with him as he studies his butt off by day and meets with his sex friend to blow off steam by night. When Riku gets his first heat, the two become physically involved for the first time, and even though Riku tries to get a girlfriend and live his ideal high school life, he can't get Touma off his mind. This doesn't have the best story, but it has beautiful art and good smut. Trigger warnings: dubcon, attempted rape, drug, rape.
Ashitagari Mono Mania
(Ch.1-3) To Love Passionately - After Yuuya's parents died in a car accident caused by the doctor Tooru's mother, Tooru offered to take Yuuya in and raise him so they could become a family, since they were both alone now. Since then, Yuuya and Tooru have lived together happily, but now that Yuuya is approaching graduation and thinking of leaving, their delicate balance is upset, and Tooru realizes how much he needs Yuuya to need him.

(Ch.4-5) Melting Point Secret - Shota has had a crush on Shiori for years, and while her brother Iori keeps jokingly confessing to Shota, Shiori has already gotten married, and Shota knows it's time to move on. But when Iori finally makes Shota realize his confessions were serious all along, Shota struggles to understand just how much Iori has been thinking of him all this time. No trigger warnings. (Ch.6) Sentimental Evening Pureness - Ayase and Azuma are in an established relationship, but when Ayase's parents call him home, it triggers Ayase's insecurities causing him to avoid Azuma, so Azuma corners him to demand to know what's up, and they get down and dirty in a classroom.

Kouguu no Omega
Ilya is an omega brought to the desert country of Hanu as a bride for their king Khalid. Though he sees himself as little more than a prisoner, the people of this country believe omegas are messengers of the gods and revere him. Meanwhile, his new husband is still a child, but as the two get to know each other better, Ilya begins to look forward to protecting this country together, until Khalid is suddenly killed and his position is usurped by his older brother. Ilya is forced to go on the run, but he decides to stay in Hanu and protect its people as best he can, just as he promised Khalid. The years pass, and a rebel organization continues to fight against the new king, but when Ilya finally runs into the rebel leader, he finds a familiar face. I like the pacing of this story a lot. It's one in which the time skip feels useful and not forced. Trigger warnings: attempted rape, attempted murder, wartime violence.
Sayonara Alpha
Chika has always believed he was an alpha, as demonstrated by his perfect record in school, sports, and his spot as the class president, until he met his fated pair, a seven-year-old boy named Haruka. Although this completely shatters Chika's perceptions of himself, and although his sexual urges threaten to run wild whenever Haruka is near, Chika can't stay away from Haruka, even if it means abusing his suppressants to give them more time together. This story is not for everyone since it has a teenage lead in love with an elementary schooler, but I honestly think it's an interesting take on the omegaverse and the idea of fated pairs and was overall handled well. Trigger warning: kissing/touching a minor, shotacon.
A Flower that Blooms in Shadow
Shion is a male prostitute who fell in love with the master who provided everything he needed for his trade, but when he suddenly sprouted two bumps on his head, his master never came to see him, and eventually he was taken in by the medicine maker, Noshi. While Shion is bitter toward the master he sees as abandoning him, Noshi knows that his master sent Shion here to take care of him, since his master was ill, yet every time Shion thinks of his master, the bumps seem to grow further into horns. Meanwhile, the two are in a physical relationship, and Noshi is beginning to want more and to free Shion from the hold that his master still has on his feelings. This was apparently based on Japanese folklore, and I like the premise, but the way the horns were drawn was a bit odd and inconsistent, and the ending felt unsatisfying. Still worth a read. Trigger warnings: sex work, human trafficking, child grooming.
Lovingly Sweet Days with An Evil Commander
Masakiyo is the hero Skull Black who spends his day being treated no better than a corporate slave while fighting evil. Meanwhile, he goes home to his enemy from work, Baphomet, who likes to teleport into Masakiyo's house and make food for him. Masakiyo is bewildered by Baphomet's intentions, but when Baphomet finally gets his love across properly, Masakiyo is surprisingly willing to give him a chance. A cute and sweet comedy. No trigger warnings.
