Isekaied doctor Chika is bought out of being a sex slave by beastmen Gail (lion) and Doug (bear) who run the local adventuring guild. Chika has a hard time getting adjusted to their kindness and affection, so he's even more surprised to learn he is the "pair" of both men. Still, he's eager to repay them for all they've done for him, so when he learns he has exceptional healing powers as a result of his doctor training, he uses it to restore Gail's lost arm and Doug's permanently injured leg. Unfortunately, such a miracle will draw a lot of attention, Chika is still suffering from the sex slave's curse, so the three men decide their only recourse is to return to Gail's family, the royal family of the Leonidas kingdom. Trigger warnings: sex trafficking, mention of rape.

Sakutarou is an omega high school counselor who has always admired beastmen, but when he grew up that turned into a sexual preference. Unfortunately, there aren't many opportunities for the two races to intermingle, and that's even more true for a male omega, so he's basically given up. But one day he goes into heat on the street and meets his fated pair, a wolf beastman named Yamato who also happens to work at his sister school, bringing the two into close contact. Yamato suggests the two try dating and see if they want to become a pair, and Sakutarou ends up having the relationship of his dreams, if he can just stop overthinking it. Cute story, good consent and communication. Trigger warnings: furry, dubcon(heat), attempted rape.

Ao is a rabbit beastman who picked up a lonely looking tiger child, Asuka, while in middle school and ended up basically adopting Asuka and his mother into his family. But Asuka and his mother were on the run after the murder of his yakuza father, and when things settled down, they returned to their hometown, and Ao left the cute tiger boy with a promise they would one day be family. Years later, a fully grown up Asuka has returned to make good on that promise, though Ao thought it was about brotherhood, Asuka wants it to be about marriage. But Asuka's yakuza lifestyle may not mesh easily with Ao and his happy family restaurant, and he worries that Asuka will resort to violence. The story was fine, and I liked Ao's lop-eared bunny character design. Trigger warning: violence.

Serun is the princess of a fallen nation who is offered to the god of the mountain to protect the people from winter, and she expects to die being eaten by wolves. But instead, she's saved by a giant white wolf who turns out to be the lord of the mountain and who asks her to be his bride. Serun is terrified and wants to get away, but this wolf seems to only care about her, even as he seems to know her from somewhere. Meant to be smut, so the story's not all there, but it's fine. Trigger warnings: murder, noncon.

A short dj in which Tsuna the rabbit is taken in by Hibari the wolf and they fall in love. Trigger warning: attempted rape.

A continuation of the story of Mayu, the slightly helpless adult, and Tora, the tiger beastman he raised who fell in love with him. This contains a few more slice of life scenes of them. Trigger warning: incest themes (guardian x child).

Mayu is a somewhat helpless young man who was rescued himself as an orphaned child, and now he's taken in a child with nowhere to go, a small beastman tiger named Tora, who fell in love with him. This slice of life story shows bits and pieces of Mayu and Tora's lives where Tora takes care of Mayu and tries to win him over. Trigger warning: incest themes (guardian x child).

Ai has a strange condition passed down in his family in which his sadness causes him to turn into a cat and that's made it hard for him to live a normal life and make friends at school. He's determined to change and live a normal high school life as he starts his first year, but he quickly runs into trouble and is saved by his new desk neighbor, Kurokawa. It feels like Kurokawa keeps seeing embarrassing sides of Ai, but Kurokawa is so kind, Ai badly wants to be his friend, and soon, possibly even more. A very cute comedy BL with some slight translation errors that honestly only add to the charm in my opinion. No trigger warnings.
