First of all, the art was right up my street, perfectly soft and sharp, exactly where I needed it to be. Body lines were also especially lovely on the ukes, in the sex scenes 1: A kouhai senpai relationship that carried over from uni to work transforms into something more under the persuasion of the well meaning but pushy seme. The sex is so hot, and this comes so close to the particular brand of dub con I've always enjoyed, but missed the mark by a bit. It borders too much on non con the first time. Just a bit and I would have enjoyed the shit out of this one. 4.5 2: A jaded man who was abused and used all his life can't help falling for his kind and innocent kohai at work 4 3: Story about childhood friends, one of them a stick in the mud sorta fella with ridiculous gender constructs and an archery doujo education to go with it. His friend who is in love with him forces the situation. I dislike these kinda rapey stories. Maybe not rape, but it still felt really off. Not at all coy, he was clearly saying no, even though he didn't seem to mind as much after the fact 2.5 Total 3.67

1: The research horse and his keeper and how they can't keep their hands off each other. Definitely deserve each other, this bakapuru 5 2: This story would shine anywhere else. The sexy and smart uke prince and the parverted seme who's still a big ol softy. But here, it's shadowed by other amazing stories 5 3: Really in to this manager actor BDSM story. Really wanna see where it goes. Sequel hasn't updated in very long 5

Daigo is has no regard for the feelings of others, let's be real. Everything is him, him, him. His comfort, his jealousy, his insecurity. He never apologises, always thinks the worst of Shin and never puts any real effort into the relationship And don't even get me started on Shin. Does he even know the word consent?

This is just SO good! Honestly, might be better than The 4th Guard, which is saying something, beacuse I was crazy about that. Giovanni is just as much of an asshole here as the seme is there, but Felix can give as good as he gets, which I much prefer. And really, Giovanni, if you think about it, isn't half bad. Fact is, I happen to like people with a mean streak. Fact is, he's right up my street. Plus, dude is perceptive and resourceful as Hell. Also, he damn well knows how to prioritize. Nothing was worth giving up Felix or his warmth. And that right there? That's *exactly* what I need in a guy. Edit: OhMyGod, Oliver is such a disease. What a creepy bastard he is. Edit: I cannot. Physically, cannot stand how much Giovanni loves Felix. Fucking cherishes him, it kills me. It's so, it's every goddamn thing I have ever wanted. It fills me with the deepest longing Ch 85

My guilty pleasure, always. No matter how many years pass

She's kinda ditzy and weak-willed, and even though she is a diligent worker, she got the promotion and caught his attention, all for her body and because she had sex with him. That's just sad. 2.5

He's a bit mean, but I am not going to pretend after all these years that I am not into that. The beginning was a bit ridiculous but it evens out. Tetsuaki is arrogant but he knows what he wants and he's ready to go to any lengths to help his loved ones. I dig that. Shouta is just too diligent and loving (especially towards Fuuta) for anyone to dislike him.

First of all. All 3 stories in this collection range from dubcon if you squint, to potentially noncon to straight up rape. So you really do have to remove yourself from the story, if you actually want to enjoy it even a bit. 1st: Nono is honestly pliable and agreeable to the point of being ridiculous. He's an airhead beyond all airheads, and there's no doubt that Hibiki took advantage of that. Not the first time- that was a misunderstanding so absurd, you kind of have to laugh at it, at that point. That said, I do really like Nonohiko, he's precious and kind and hardworking, even if way too naive. Hibiki, as mentioned, was pretty underhanded in the beginning, but quickly resolves to treat Nono right, which improves his rating in my books by leaps and bounds. It's not the perfect story, but it's just the right amount of fun and titillating in a shallow sort of way I really enjoy. 5 2nd: Yuusuke and Kaname's story was the most interesting of the bunch, just because of the kinks involved. The size kink plus teasing combo makes this pretty hot, if you can ignore the blatant noncon. I'm not proud of it, but I enjoyed this. By ignoring very pointedly, certain references to age. Ugh. 5 3rd: Apparently, we've found the line. And it's at *checks notes* revenge sex. Well, it was clearly just rape, when it began. He consented halfway-through, which grays the lines a bit. But overall, I found it somewhat disturbing. 3 Overall 4.3, but I'll still rate it 5, because I still enjoyed the first two

I am super into Shima and Yama. I know Yamashita will always regret introducing him to that place, He's always apologising, but Shima doesn't seem to see it quite that way, what can one do? I really love how good care Takeru takes of Shima. Shima himself is a bit dense at times, but also earnest and kind and adorable. And he cares so diligently for his family. Their dynamic works really well. They are also surrounded by amazing and supportive people, so there is that. Easy 5* 2: At times, I enjoyed this couple even more than the first. I love how he won Tada over with his persistence, both body and heart - and the kicker, he wasn't even trying!! Tada is so supportive and just Grade A seme material. And Makoto's smolness in the face of Tada's mean streak is just, ugh. 5*! Honestly, the cover could never do this hot yet fluffy story justice. It's not some cracky pwp with colourful pages to distract from the lack of plot. It's nuanced and the relationships are so wholesome. I love it! Now if only Aiden and Daichi would hook up...

Hot as hell, but lack of body autonomy will always be trohbling. Especially since this doesn't seem to have an off switch. I guess it bothers me so much because I know these characters well
