"Komiya is a struggling grad student trying to make ends meet. He meets Youzou Nishi, owner of the Nishi Bookstore, while searching for an affordable room and board, which the latter had advertised in exchange for looking after the bookstore occasionally. After living a month with Youzou, Komiya is smitten. But Youzou is a great mystery. Apart from managing a bookstore, he also has another job that Komiya doesn't know much about, except that Youzou's clients all seem otherworldly. Komiya doesn't think about it much until an earthquake and rejuvenation water turns Youzou into a child. As it turns out, Youzou also runs a pawn shop of holy miracles for gods." ✰ Graduate Student x Bookstore Owner/God ⤷ Super cute I love a good supernatural BL story especially when it’s like historical and about gods and deities and shit. Also, I really liked Nishi‘s personality. I love when they’re dry and bland. The issue with some fantasy stories is like they will have very convenient conclusions because they can literally just be like oh actually, we can do this now but other than that I liked it. also mad said that the original owner of the body wanted to die so bad he’d rather be a fucking mouse, but I guess we can overlook that LMFSO

"A young boy finds himself fascinated by the long hair of the boy in class who sits in front of him." ✰ Classmates; Student x Student ⤷ want more...

"Sano, who can't seem to connect with anyone at all - not his family, not his coworkers - turns to SNS instead. One day, he decides to finally meet up with one of his mutual followers, "S." His Internet friend turns out to be Narumi, a handsome young actor whose popularity recently shot through the roof! Although Narumi's behavior seems to hint at something bubbling beneath the surface, Sano can't shake off the feeling that he's probably being toyed around with... An emotional, heart-piercing BL between a handsome actor and a salaryman who doesn't do communication." ✰ Famous Actor x Awkward Salaryman ⤷ i usually hate idol x normie stories (still do <3) but i guess this one wasnt too bad. i thought this was gonna be a psychological BL the entire time the actor was acting mad suspicious

Tetsuta hears Nagi’s singing voice and receives an electrifying impact from within his body. For the first time in his life, he wants someone else to sing the songs he composed." ✰ Singer/Songwriter Human x Nonhuman (Merman) ⤷ the writing was so lovely and dreamy. i thought their relationship was sweet but i was rly invested in them like that. but then the end was SAD AS HELL WHYD YOU DO THAT.
