Fujikawa Kazuaki called Misaki Yuudai where it hurts the most. Fujikawa called him short. The disrespect! For some reason, the freshman Fujikawa dislikes Misaki, a senpai, and he’s not even being subtle about it. At a lost at Fujikawa’s attitude towards him, he plans to find a weakness to use against him. Turns out, they used to be childhood friends. The feminine looking kid Fujikawa specifically went to the once cool Misaki’s highschool only to be disappointed. The premise was interesting but I don’t like the development. The flow is pretty bad, maybe because of translation.

Hisami Naoto meets his ex-boyfriend again Hase Taichi from high school. Not only do they go to the same University, they’re in the same department, and have the same group of friends as well. There’s no use, they might as well get along and get along they did. Naoto gets reminded of how fun being friends with Taichi was and how romantically incompatible both of them are. Comedic but angsty, just the best type. The smut is spicy to boot.

After a depressing year of retaking his college entrance exam, Kinashi Taku made it into college at last. Finally, he gets to live alone! The ambition of getting a cute and sexy college girlfriend and kissing his virginity goodbye is getting closer to becoming a reality. Or so he thought. He meets the smexy next door neighbor, Haijima Mitsuru who seems awfully familiar with him and that’s how he lost his virginity. I swear, you won’t regret reading this. I guarantee a sweet and fun read. Oh, the smut is smutty, I tell you. I don’t usually like feminine buffy guys but man I like this one.

It’s Chitose Ito’s first time in Tokyo and living alone. He decides to give a share-house a go. The day of the move-in though, he smells a nostalgic scent. Lo and behold Takehisa Hijiri, a close friend and the only person he ever loved and… the other tenant moving in on the same day. It’s been 7 years, and for some strange reason, he still gets aroused from Hijiri’s scent to this very day. First of all the premise is so good, but the whole story doesn’t disappoint. It was hella erotic and you can see the action well. Just good things happen here, just a misunderstanding and lack of communication.

Sumito Tokitsu moves to the countryside with his grandma following his parents’ divorce. At night, he leaves the window slightly open, anticipating the arrival and the touch of his mysterious guest. At first it was scary but at some point he starts longing for it. Before he knew it, he meets his nightly guest outside his bedroom - the school he newly transferred to. He’s Gaku Kurama, the next in line to the crow demon, and apparently his fiancé. The premise, so good! The rest of the story doesn’t disappoint, had me hooked on curiosity. I’m praying for mpreg right now.

Touyama Keita feel his friendship with Kawase Mitsuru drift apart. Now, Mitsuru just went AWOL after university. The next he sees him, he discovers his friend works in the sex industry, he’s the hole in the wall. I’ve encountered a manga from this author before. Honestly, maybe it’s not my thing but the plot feels juvenile. I thought this would be better; I was put off just from the 1st chapter alone on the other one. This one is just the same. The premise is alright but the development is just bad, it feels catered to teens, like an abc. I skipped a lot a lot of it.

It’s been 10 years since Yamamoto Teppei graduated high school. Leaving behind his brief friendship with Minowa Manabu and the feelings he failed to admit. It was the right decision. High school reunion comes and with liquid courage he lays everything bare and sleeps with him. It was the conclusion to their relationship. However, the next morning, he wakes up in his family home, 10 years back when he was at high school and so does Minowa? Quite the unique plot, a regression in modern time. Regression in itself may seem cliché but this one is well executed. It’s an interesting read. Sadly, it’s quite short and not that explicit.

Minato Koharukawa, BL Manga artist, dreams to meet his fated pair and have his neck bitten like from the genre very popular to BL, omegaverse. Will he ever find the Alpha that will grant his dreams? Who knew he’ll find him at the highschool reunion he was mandated to attend Short

The smut is sweet but scorching hot
