1, 3: Story about Youji, an amateur manga artist, and how he falls for Sawa, his sepai who always wears gloves for an unknown reason. The story was incredible. And incredibly painful. Yaoi rarely deal with issues like self harm and trauma well, but this was amazing. I wish them all the happiness. 5 2, 4: Suo and Minato meet online as bl fanfic writer and fan artist. Once they meet irl, their bond strengthens and Suo eventually realizes he is in love with Minato. Only, Minato has been in love with him for just as long, if not longer. So much pain in their desperation, but so heartwarming and sweet, too. Suo will never ever know how much he saved Minato. Lord. This child needed that break. 4.7 The entire collection has such depth and evokes the strangest sense of nostalgia. Bittersweet but heavy on the sweet, and heartbreakingly beautiful.

Yeah, not for me, really. I like non vanilla and spice as much as the next person, but this is just too in your face non-monogamous and just, there's not depth or meaning to any of the relationships. As a pwp, it's all right

An anthology of connected oneshots about a beastmen-verse. 1: Takumi has always been enamoured with his neighbour, a wolf beastman who is a microbiologist/ professor who works from home. Will the prof. ever see him as anything more than a child? I don't know, he looks so dog like, and he's so much older. It's just not for me. 4 2: Aihachi and Shunsuke, both on the track team, aces from different years, one a retired senior, and one an up-and-coming second year. They use training, food and even sex as means of "stress relief/ goodluck ritual before heats" to dance around each other. Until finally, it culminates in them admitting the truth. I actually really like Aihachi. He seems shallow at first glance, but he's actually really brave, and a great friend. And loyal to a fault. I also liked Shunsuke, who is a bit too tsun, but still one cool dude. And certainly not afraid to go after what he wants once the push comes to shove. This too, was a bit uncomfortable with how animal like Shunsuke was. 4.5 3: Nachi, a quarter lion beastman and Mikuni, a snake who just shed his skin and consequently is attracting a lot of attention. But the only attention he wants is from Nachi, his beloved childhood friend. Will he finally take a hint? I liked Mikuni's innocence a lot, and his determination. I enjoyed it a lot overall. 4.8 4.5: Very small filler about Dr.Mikami, a classmate of the prof., and his assistant and lover. It was cute, and enjoyed how it tied together all the stories of the other couples. 4.5 Overall: 4.45

TBH, I honestly felt all the endings left something to be desired. But the last one was just plain cruel. I did not enjoy that. 3.8

Rare are multiple story yaois done this *right*. What an absolute treat. 1: Shouta is a bit of a loner who longs to be in a relationship. One day, he picks up a handsome foreigner, Joshua, who looked weak and troubled, only to realise much later on that Josh is actually a famous American movie star. I really liked them? They were sweet and cute, if rushed. And they're good for each other. 4.6 3: Teppei is the cutest thing, who fell in love with Kazuki, a notorious delinquent at hold school. Kazuki disappears, leaving Teppei heartbroken, only to come back as a trained baker, to work in Teppei's family's bakery. Ohhh. They're so cute, so cute. I loved this one. Ahh. They're so darn adorable. 5 5: Azuma and Nishio just look like boss a d subordinate to the members of their small team, but in reality they've been together for years. Azuma is such an unexpected yet sweet uke. Very cute, overall. 4.7 Overall, enjoyed it a lot.

I don't really have anything pleasant to say about any of these. 3

1: Ikumi trains his new boyfriend Taisuke to build up his stamina. I liked Taisuke, he was sweet. 4.4 3: Sakaeda sensei finds himself falling for the troubled new student, Hikaru. I just don't like these ones. 3 4: To friends-turned-lovers who meet theor demise in the zombie apocalypse. This is just too sad T.T 4.4 5: Man falls for a tuna fisherman who is at sea too often. Okay, I have to give this 4.4. It's just such a hilarious coincidence.

1: Mao and Oka become curious about gay sex after their dorm-mates and good friends, Kadoj and Kanade start dating. One thing leads to another, and they find themselves in a relationship neither one of them anticipated. I think Mao needs to stop and think about his words more often. Overall, it was good, nothing amazing. 4.4 5: Two childhood friends find each other after seven years apart, but spending time together leads to something more. Just an average story that's not really going anywhere yet. Would have loved to have read more. 4

Most of it was gross, some of it was average. 2.9
